    Question

    The probability of selecting a rotten egg randomly from

    a basket of 1050 eggs is 0.36. What is the number of rotten eggs in the basket?
    A 328 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 358 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 378 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 278 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total number of eggs in the basket = n(S) = 1050 Let E be the event of selecting a rotten egg from the basket. Number of outcomes favourable to E = n(E) P(E) = n(E)/n(S) 0.36 = n(E)/1050 ⇒ n(E) = 1050 × 0.36 ⇒ n(E) = 378 Therefore, the number of rotten eggs in the basket = 378
