✔ 最佳答案

(a)
P(no A in 10 coupons)
= P(all 10 coupons are B, C or D)
= (3/4)¹⁰
= 59049/1048576

=====
(b)
P(no A and B in 10 cards)
= P(all 10 coupons are C or D)
= (2/4)¹⁰
= (1/2)¹⁰
= 1/1024

=====
(c)
P(cannot redeem a souvenir)
= P([no A in 10 coupons] or [no B in 10 coupons] or [no C in 10 coupons] or [noA in 10 coupons])
= 4 x (3/4)¹⁰
= 3¹⁰/4⁹
= 59049/262144

P(can redeem a souvenir)
= 1 - P(cannot redeem a souvenir)
= 1 - (59049/262144)
= 203095/262144
