      Question

      The probability of selecting a rotten egg randomly from

      a heap of 500 eggs is 0.15. What is the number of rotten eggs in the heap?
      A 72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 74 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total number of eggs in the heap = n(S) = 500 Let E be the event of selecting a rotten egg from the heap. Number of outcomes favourable to E = n(E) P(E) = n(E)/n(S) 0.15 = n(E)/500 β‡’ n(E) = 500 Γ— 0.15 β‡’ n(E) = 75 Therefore, the number of rotten eggs in the heap = 75
