#### A lot consists of 48 mobile phones of which 42 are good, 3 have only minor defects and 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(i) acceptable to Varnika? (ii) acceptable to the trader?

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 mobiles = 48
Minor defective = 3
major defective = 3
good = 42
Varnika buy only good so favourable cases = 42
Probability = $\frac{Number\, of\, favourable\ cases }{Total\, number\, of\, cases}$
Probability that acceptable to Varnika = $\frac{42}{48}= \frac{7}{8}$
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 mobiles = 48
good = 42
minor defect = 3
major defect = 3
trader accept only good and minor defect.
So favourable cases = 42 + 3 = 45
Probability = $\frac{Number\, of\, favourable\ cases }{Total\, number\, of\, cases}$
Probability that trader accept $\frac{45}{48}= \frac{15}{16}$
