To explain:The reason for the statement to be incorrect. A person participates in a weekly office pool in which he has one chance in ten of winning the prize. If he participates for five weeks in succession, the probability of winning at least one prize is 5/10.

The correct answer is - given approach is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

P = probability of winning = 1/10

q = probability of not winning = 1- (1/10) = 9/10

x = no. of winning

then, p (x ≥ 1) = 1 - p (x < 1)

= 1 - p (x=0)

= 1 - ⁵C₀ (1/10)^⁰ (9/10)^(5-0)

= 1 - (1) (1) (9/10)^5

=  1 - (9/10)^5

62.5 paisa

step-by-step explanation:

4000*70 = 280000

280000-(2000*90) = 100000

4000-2400 = 1600

100000/1600 = 62.5
