It is known 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?

A

`.84`

B

`.86`

C

`.96`

D

`.98`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The number of non-defective bulbs in the box= 600-12 = 588
So, probability of taking out a non-defective bulb `=(588)/(600)=(49)/(50)=0.98`
