A lot of 20 bulbs contain 4 defective ones. One bulb is drawn at random from a lot. What is the probability that this bulb is defective?

Total numbers of elementary events are: 20

Let E be the event of drawing defective bulb


The number of defective bulbs in a lot = 4


Then, the favourable outcome =4


P (defective bulb) = P (E) = 4/20 = 1/5
