    The probability that a bulb produced by a factory will fuse after 150 days of use is 0.05. What is the probability that out of 5 such bulbs none will fuse after 150 days of use

    A)                 \[1-{{\left( \frac{19}{20} \right)}^{5}}\]         

    B)                 \[{{\left( \frac{19}{20} \right)}^{5}}\]

    C)                 \[{{\left( \frac{3}{4} \right)}^{5}}\] 

    D)                 \[90\,{{\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)}^{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Here \[p=\frac{19}{20},\,\,\,q=\frac{1}{20},\,\,\,n=5,\,\,\,r=5\]                 The required probability \[={}^{5}{{C}_{5}}{{\left( \frac{19}{20} \right)}^{5}}.{{\left( \frac{1}{20} \right)}^{0}}={{\left( \frac{19}{20} \right)}^{5}}.\]
