As we learnt in

Binomial Distribution -

Let E be an event and p+q = 1 then

X :          0                         1                            2         ..................     n

P(x):      qn                   {^n}c_1\cdot p^{1}q^{n-1}           {^n}c_2\cdot p^{2}q^{n-2}            pn

-

 

 Probability of atleast one failure \geqslant \frac{31}{32}

 Probability of no failure \leq \frac{1}{32}

\Rightarrow Probability \:of \:all\: success=\:p^5\leqslant \frac{1}{3}

p\leqslant (\frac{1}{32})^\frac{1}{5}\leqslant \frac{1}{2}

 


Option 1)

\left [ 0,\frac{1}{2} \right ]\;

Correct

Option 2)

\; \left ( \frac{11}{12},1 \right ]\; \;

Incorrect

Option 3)

\; \; \left ( \frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{4} \right ]\; \;

Incorrect

Option 4)

\; \; \left ( \frac{3}{4},\frac{11}{12} \right ]\; \; \;

Incorrect
