Question
8 defective pens are accidentally mixed with 110
good ones. It is not possible to just look at a pen and tell whether or not it is defective. One pen is taken out at random from this lot. Determine the probability that the pen is taken out is a good one.Solution
Numbers of pens = Numbers of defective pens + Numbers of good pens
∴ Total number of pens = 110 + 8 = 118 pens
P(E) = (Number of favourable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes)
P(picking a good pen) = 110/118 = 55/59 = 0.932
