A lot consists of 48 mobile phones of which 42 are good, 3 have only minor defects, 3 have major defects. Varnika will buy a phone if it is good but the trader will only buy a mobile if it has no major defect. One phone is selected at random from the lot. What is the probability that it is acceptable to Varnika?

Solution

Let $E_{1}$ = Event that Varnika will buy a mobile phone
= Varnika buy only, if it is good mobile
$∴ n (E_{1}) = 42 ∴ P (E_{1}) = \frac{n (E_{1})}{n (S)} = \frac{42}{48} = \frac{7}{8}$

Let E1 = Event that Varnika will buy a mobile phone = Varnika buy only, if it is good mobile ∴n(E1)=42∴P(E1)=n(E1)n(S)=4248=78

Let $E_{1}$ = Event that Varnika will buy a mobile phone
= Varnika buy only, if it is good mobile
$∴ n (E_{1}) = 42 ∴ P (E_{1}) = \frac{n (E_{1})}{n (S)} = \frac{42}{48} = \frac{7}{8}$
