It is known that 10% of certain articles manufactured are defective. What is the probability that in a random sample of 12 such articles, 9 are defective?


In this question, let us assume X represent the number of times selecting defected articles in a random sample space of given 12 articles

Also, the repeated articles in a random sample space are the Bernoulli trials


Clearly, we have X has the binomial distribution where n = 12 and


And,






Hence, probability of selecting 9 defective articles
