Question

A carton consists of 100 shirts of which 88 are good, 8 have minor defects and 4 have

major defects. Jimmy, a trader, will only accept the shirts which are good, but Sujatha,

another trader, will only reject the shirts which have major defects. One shirt is drawn

at random from the carton. What is the probability that it is acceptable to

(i) Jimmy? (ii) Sujatha?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 Jimmy will accept only good shirts:

88 upon 100= 0.88

2 sujatha will only reject the shirts which have major defects

thus 88+8= 96

therefore 96 upon 100= 0.96
