Question

If there were 30,000 cars produced and later it was found that 222 had a defect in one of the headlight bulbs, what is the probability that any one of

those cars would have the defect?

A. 1/5200
B. 37/5000
C. 2/6235
D. 10/520

Answer 1

B. cause 222/30,000 you divide them both by 5 and you get 37/5000

Answer 2

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Probability is ratio of number of favorable outcome to total number of outcomes.

Number of cars produced = Total number of outcomes = 30000

Number of defective cars = Number of favorable outcome = 222

`\texttt{Probability}=(222)/(30000)=(111)/(15000)=(37)/(5000)`

Option B is the correct answer.
