Answer. [5/23]
Solution. Probability; Probability means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value is expressed from zero to one
Total bulbs = 24
Defective = 6
not defective = 18
Probability that the bulb is not defective = \frac{18}{24}= \frac{3}{4}
Let the bulbs is defective and it is removed from 24 bulb.
Now bulbs remain = 23
In 23 bulbs, non-defective bulbs = 18
defective = 5
Probability = \frac{Number\, of\, favourable\ cases }{Total\, number\, of\, cases}
Now probability that the bulb is defective = \frac{5}{23} .
