Solution

The correct option is D

9105


Explanation for the correct option.

Find the probability.

There are 100 eggs in a box and out of which 10 are rotten.

Probability of getting a rotten egg is:

p=10100=110

So, the probability of getting a egg which is not rotten is:

q=1-p=1-110=910

Now, let X be the number of rotten eggs taken out of 5 trials. Then the binomial distribution is given as:

P(X=x)=Cxnqn-xpx=Cx59105-x110xn=5,q=910,p=110

So to find the probability that none of the eggs are rotten substitute 0 for x.

PX=0=C059105-01100=1×9105×1C0n=1,a0=1=9105

So the probability that none of the eggs are rotten is 9105.

Hence, the correct option is D.
