Answer:

Option A - 0.003

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Probability of success = 63%= 0.63  

Probability of failure = 1-0.63=0.37

To find: Probability that the first success occurs after the sixth trial

Formula for calculating geometric probabilities:  

If P(X >n)  or the probability that it takes more than a certain number of trials to achieve the first success.

P(X>n)=(1-p)^n

where, X has a geometric distribution,p is the probability of success and (1-p) is the failure and possible values of X are 1, 2, 3, ....  

Now, put values p=0.63, (1-p)= 0.37 , n=6 in the formula  

P(X>n)=(1-p)^n

P(X>6)=(0.37)^6

P(X>6)=0.0025  

P(X>6)=0.003  

Therefore, Option A is correct
