Question
A box contains 100 bulbs, 20 of which are defective. 10 bulbs are selected for inspection. Find the probability thatat least one is defective
Advertisements
Solution
Out of 100 bulbs, 10 can be chosen in 100C10 ways.
So, total number of elementary events = 100C10
Probability for at least one defective bulb = 1 – Probability (all 10 are non-defective)
= \[1 - \frac{^{80}{}{C}_{10}}{^{100}{}{C}_{10}}\]
