Question : 56
Total: 101
From a lot of 30 bulbs which include 6 defective, a sample of 4 bulbs is drawn at random with replacement. Find the probability distribution of the number of defective bulbs.
Solution:
Let X denote the random variable, which represents the number of defective bulbs.
∴ X can assumes the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Total number of bulbs = 30
Number of defective bulbs = 6.
p = ‘probability of not getting defective bulb’=
q = ‘probability of getting defective bulb’=
∴ P(X = 0) = P(No defective bulb) = p × p × p × p
=
×
×
×
=
P(X = 1) = P(1 defective bulb) = 4(p × p × p × q)
= 4 (

×
×
) =
P(X = 2) = P(2 defective bulbs) = 6(p × p × q × q)
= 6 (

×
×
) =
P(X = 3) = P(3 defective bulbs) = 4(q × q × q × p)
= 4 (

×
×
) =
P(X = 4) = P(4 defective bulbs) = q × q × q × q

Hence, the probability distribution is :
∴ X can assumes the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Total number of bulbs = 30
Number of defective bulbs = 6.
p = ‘probability of not getting defective bulb’
q = ‘probability of getting defective bulb’
∴ P(X = 0) = P(No defective bulb) = p × p × p × p
P(X = 1) = P(1 defective bulb) = 4(p × p × p × q)
P(X = 2) = P(2 defective bulbs) = 6(p × p × q × q)
P(X = 3) = P(3 defective bulbs) = 4(q × q × q × p)
P(X = 4) = P(4 defective bulbs) = q × q × q × q
Hence, the probability distribution is :
X | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | ||||||||||
P(X) | | | | | |
