In a panel of 10 light bulbs, the odds of any light bulb to burn out are 0.06 at any given 10 minutes. Should a light bulb burn out, the whole panel would instantly turn off. What are the odds that the panel would be turned off within the first 10 minutes after it was switched on?

IMO B...but is B [1 - (0.94^10)] because thats what I am getting.
solution : consider in 10 minutes space
1 light bulb can go off P = 0.06
so, P that the lightbulb does not go off = 1-0.06 =.94
now we have 10 lightbulbs. Their functioning properly forms a mutually exclusive set of events.
therefore, P that all of them function properly = .94 * .94 (10 times) = .94^10
now, for the whole system to trip even 1 faulty bulb is enough.
therefore, we need P(at least one trips)
which is P(at least one) = 1 - P(none trip) = 1 - P(all function properly) = 1 - 0.94^10
Ans B
