Ex15.1, 21 A lot consists of 144 ball pens of which 20 are defective and the others are good. Nuri will buy a pen if it is good, but will not buy if it is defective. The shopkeeper draws one pen at random and gives it to her. What is the probability that She will buy it? Total number of pens = 144 Number of pens Nuri will buy = Number of good pens = Total number pens Number of defective pens = 144 20 = 124 P (Nuri buys a pen) = ( )/( ) = 124/144 = 31/36 Ex15.1, 21 A lot consists of 144 ball pens of which 20 are defective and the others are good.
