Correct Answer - ` (i) 1/5 (ii) 15/19` (i) Total number of bulbs = 20. Number of defective bulb = 4. Number of non-defective bulbs = 20- 4= 16. `:. ` P(getting a defective bulb) = ` 4/20 = 1/5`. (ii) After removing 1 non-defective bulb, we have remaining number of bulbs = 20-1 = 19. Out of these, the number of non-defective bulb = 16-1=15. ` :. ` P(getting a non=defective bulb) = ` 15/19`.
