    A contest consists of predicting the results win, draw or defeat of 7 football matches. A sent his entry by predicting at random. The probability that his entry will contain exactly 4 correct predictions is

    A)                 \[\frac{8}{{{3}^{7}}}\]    

    B)                 \[\frac{16}{{{3}^{7}}}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{280}{{{3}^{7}}}\]

    D)                 \[\frac{560}{{{3}^{7}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[P\](correct prediction) \[=\frac{1}{3}\]; \[P\](wrong prediction) \[=\frac{2}{3}\]            For exactly 4 right predictions                 Probability \[={}^{7}{{C}_{4}}{{\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)}^{4}}.\,{{\left( \frac{2}{3} \right)}^{3}}=\frac{280}{{{3}^{7}}}.\]
