Q12 of 12 Page 13

From a lot of 20 bulbs which include 5 defectives, a sample of 3 bulbs is drawn at random, one by one with replacement. Find the probability distribution of the number of defective bulbs. Also, find the mean of the distribution.[CBSE 2018]

Let X denote the number of defective bulbs.


X = 0, 1, 2, 3


Probability of getting a defective bulb


Probability of getting a non–defective bulb


Using binomial distribution,







Hence,
