Answer:
The width of member is as follows:
b = 3 ft
b = 3 × 12 in.
b= 36 in.
The depth of member is as follows:
d = 8 ft
d = 8 × 12 in.
d=96 in.
Since the structure used is Douglas fir-Larch lumber of size 3 × 8 size. Hence, tensile strength, f =1000 psi
Calculate the net area of the member as follows:
A = (b - ∅) × d
A= (36 - 7/8) × 96
Calculate the maximum axial tensile load by ASD method as follows:
P = f × A
P = 1000 x 3372
P = 3372000 lbs
P = 3372 kips
We will be using the binomial probability formula to solve the problem
The formula is given by ⁿCₓ (p)ˣ (1-p)ⁿ⁻ˣ
Where:
n = the number of trials = 100
x = the number of samples we are trying on = 3
p = the probability of success = 2% = 0.02
We can either calculate ⁿCₓ by using the scientific calculator using the
button or by doing it manually use 
P(3) = ¹⁰⁰C₃ (0.02)³ (1 - 0.02)¹⁰⁰⁻³
P(3) = ¹⁰⁰C₃ (0.02)³ (0.98)⁹⁸
P(3) = 0.182 (rounded to three decimal places)
Correct answer: option 3
