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? (ii) Suppose the bulb drawn in (i) 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? Solution Q.17

  1. (i) Number of defective bulbs = 4

    The total number of bulbs = 20

    P(E) = (Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes)

    ∴ Probability of getting a defective bulb = P (defective bulb) = 4/20 = ⅕ = 0.2

    (ii) Since 1 non-defective bulb is drawn, then the total numbers of bulbs left are 19

    So, the total number of events (or outcomes) = 19

    Number of non-defective bulbs = 19-4 = 15

    So, the probability that the bulb is not defective = 15/19 = 0.789
