Answer:

The probability of getting two good coils is 77.33%.

Explanation:

Since a batch consists of 12 defective coils and 88 good ones, to determine the probability of getting two good coils when two coils are randomly selected (without replacement), the following calculation must be performed:

88/100 x 87/99 = X

0.88 x 0.878787 = X

0.77333 = X

Therefore, the probability of getting two good coils is 77.33%.
