It is know that a box of 600 electric bulbs contains 12 defective bulbs. One bulb is taken out at random from this box. What is the probability that it is a non-defective bulb?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Numbers of non-defective bulbs =`600-12=588`
n(E)=`588`
n(S)=`600`
P(E)=(n(E)/n(S)`=(588)/(600)=0.98`
