  1. A lot has 10% defective items. Ten items are chosen randomly from this lot. The probability that exactly 2 of the chosen items are defective is
    1. 0.0036
    2. 0.1937
    3. 0.2234
    4. 0.3874
Correct Option: B

Probability of defective item =
10
= 0.1
100

Probability of not defective item = 1 – 0.1 = 0.9
So, probability that exactly 2 of the chosen items are defective
= 10C2 (0.1)² (0.9)8 = 0.1937.
