Solution

The correct option is C
0.08

Number of parts exiting an assembly line which is bad (defective) = 8

Total number of parts passing the assembly line = 100

Probability of a part being defective $= \frac{Number of defective parts}{Total number of parts}$

Probability of a part being defective $= \frac{8}{100} = 0.08$
