A box contains 15bolts of which 5 are defective. If 5 bolts are selected at random from the box, what is the probability that at least one of them is defective?
a) 91/143
b) 101/143
c) 111/143
d) 121/143
e) 131/143

1 Answer

Answer :

Probability that at least one is defective = 1 – probability that none is defective
Probability that none is defective = 10C5 / 15C5 = 12/143
Required Probability = 1-12/143 = 131/143
Answer: e)

Description : A box contains 100 balls numbers from 1 to 100. If three balls are selected at random and with replacement from the box, what is the probability -Maths 9th

Last Answer : (d) \(rac{1}{4}\)The box contains 100 balls numbered from 1 to 100. Therefore, there are 50 even and 50 odd numbered balls. The sum of the three numbers drawn will be odd, if all three are odd or one is even and 2 are odd. ∴ Required probability = P(odd) × P(odd) × P(odd) + P(even) × P(odd) × P(odd)
