The correct answer is: 1320

We know that p=success, q=failure

Given 3PX=0=PX=1

3C033p0q33=C133p1q32

3×1×q=33×p

q=11p   ... i

Also p+q=1

Now from equation i, p+11p=1

12p=1

p=112, q=1112

Now PX=15PX=18-PX=16PX=17

C1533p15q18C1833p18q15-C1633p16q17C1733p17q16

=q3p3-qp=qpqp2-1=111112-1

=11×120

=1320
