Solution

The correct option is A
0.95

The balls manufactured in the factory can either be defective or perfect. Thus, it a complementary event.

The probability that the selected ball is defective, P(E) = 0.05
Let, P(E') be the probability that the selected ball is perfect.
$P (E) + P (E^{'}) = 1 \Rightarrow 0.05 + P (E^{'}) = 1$
$\Rightarrow P (E^{'}) = 0.95$
Thus probability of the ball being perfect = 0.95.
