Here's the Solution to this Question

Solution:

Here we are given that P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.1 and P(nil ) 0.5

Also n = 10 is the sample size

a) Probability that 4 prefers A, 1 prefer B and 5 will have no preference is computed as:

=^5C_4(0.4)^4 \times ^6C_1(0.1)\times(0.5)^5=0.0024

Therefore 0.0024 is the required probability here.
