Question

10% of the bulbs produced in a factory are of red colour 82% are red and defective. If one bulb is picked up at radius determine the probability of its being defective if it is red.

Open in App

Solution

Probability that bulb is red $= \frac{10}{100} = \frac{1}{10}$
Probability that bulb is red and defective $= \frac{1}{10} \times \frac{82}{100}$
Probability $= \frac{82}{1000} = 0.082$
