- A lot of 20 bulbs contain 4 defective ones. One bulb is drawn at random from the lot. What is the probability that this bulb is defective?
- Suppose the bulb drawn in (1) is not defective and is not replaced. Now one bulb is drawn at random from the rest. What is the probability that this bulb is not defective?
उत्तर
(i) Total number of bulbs = 20
∴ Total number of defective bulbs = 4
P (getting a defective bulb) = `4/20 = 1/5`
(ii) Remaining total number of bulbs = 20 − 1 = 19
Total number of possible outcome = 19
Remaining total number of non-defective bulbs = 16 − 1 = 15
∴ Number of favourable outcomes = 15
`"Number of favourable outcomes"/"Total number of possible outcomes" = 15/19`
P (getting a not defective bulb) = `15/19`
