A box contains 100bulbs, 20 of which are defective. 10 bulbs are selected for inspection. Find the probability that: (i) all 10 are defective (ii) all 10 are good (iii) at least one is defective (iv) none is defective

Answer»

given: box with 100 bulbs of which, 20 are defective

Formula: P(E) = \(\frac{favorable\ outcomes}{total\ possible\ outcomes}\) 

ten bulbs are drawn at random for inspection, therefore 

total possible outcomes are 100C10

therefore n(S)= 100C10 

(i) let E be the event that all ten bulbs are defective

n(E)= 20C10

P(E) = \(\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\)

P(E) = \(\frac{20_{c_{10}}}{100_{c_{10}}}\)

(ii) let E be the event that all ten good bulbs are selected

n(E)= 80C10

P(E) = \(\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\)

P(E) = \(\frac{80_{c_{10}}}{100_{c_{10}}}\)

(iii) let E be the event that at least one bulb is defective 

E = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} where 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 are the number of defective bulbs 

Let E’ be the event that none of the bulb is defective

n(E')= 80C10

P(E') = \(\frac{n(E')}{n(S)}\)

P(E') = \(\frac{80_{c_{10}}}{100_{c_{10}}}\)

Therefore, 

P(E) = 1-P(E’)

P(E) = 1-P(E’)

P(E) = \(1-\frac{80_{c_{10}}}{100_{c_{10}}}\)

(iv) let E be the event that none of the selected bulb is defective

n(E)= 80C10

P(E) = \(\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\)

P(E) = \(\frac{80_{c_{10}}}{100_{c_{10}}}\)
