Let X denote a number of balls  marked with digit 0 among 4 balls drawn.

Balls are drawn with replacement.

X has a binomial distribution,n=4.

                   P=\frac{1}{10}

                   q=1-P=1-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{9}{10}

                 \therefore \, \, \, \, P(X=x)=^nC_x.q^{n-x}.p^x

                         P(X=x)=^4C_x.(\frac{9}{10})^{4-x} . (\frac{1}{10})^{x}

                 Put  X = 0,

                  P(X=0)=^4C_0.(\frac{9}{10})^{4} . (\frac{1}{10})^{0}

                                       = 1.(\frac{9}{10})^{4}

                                       = (\frac{9}{10})^4
