Ten bulbs are drawn successively, with replacement, from a lot containing $10 \%$ defective bulbs, then the probability that there is at least one defective bulb, is
  1. $1-\left(\frac{1}{10}\right)^{10}$
  2. $\quad 1-\left(\frac{3}{10}\right)^{10}$
  3. $1-\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^{10}$
  4. $1-\left(\frac{7}{10}\right)^{10}$

Solution

Let X : be the number of defective bulbs $\therefore \quad$ Possible values of X is 1 . Here, $\mathrm{n}=$ number of bulbs picked $=10$. Let P (probability of getting defective bulb) $\begin{aligned} & =10 \%=\frac{1}{10} \\ \therefore \quad & q=1-p=1-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{9}{10} \end{aligned}$ $\therefore \quad$ Probability that at least one bulb is defective $=1-\mathrm{P}$ (getting 0 defective bulb) $=1-\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=0)$ $=1-{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_0(\mathrm{p})^0(\mathrm{q})^{10-0}$ $=1-1 \times 1 \times\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^{10}$ $=1-\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^{10}$
