Question -

From a lot of 30 bulbs which include 6 defectives, a sample of 4 bulbs is drawn at random with replacement. Find the probability distribution of the number of defective bulbs.



Answer -

Given a lot of 30bulbs which include 6 defectives.

Then number ofnon-defective bulbs = 30 тАУ 6 = 24

As 4 bulbs are drawnat random with replacement.

Let X denotes thenumber of defective bulbs from the selected bulbs.

Clearly, X can takethe value of 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4.

P (X = 0) = P (4 arenon-defective and 0 defective)

P (X = 1) = P (3 arenon-defective and 1 defective)

P (X = 2) = P (2 arenon-defective and 2 defective)

P (X = 3) = P (1 arenon-defective and 3 defective)

P (X = 4) = P (0 arenon-defective and 4 defective)

Hence, the requiredprobability distribution is,

X

0

1

2

3

4

P (X)
