Question

. Ramesh is a local shirt manufacturer. He is very excited as his firm has got orders in just one
day from two traders Ashwin and Kanwar. Both have ordered 1 carton consisting of 100 shirts.
Now, Ashwin is very quality conscious and he will only accept shirts which are very good. But
Kanwar on the other hand will only reject shirts which have major defects. A carton of shirts
prepared by Ramesh has 100 shirts out of which 78 are very good, 20 have minor defects and
2 have major defects.
Based on above situation, answer the following questions :
What is the probability that it is acceptable to Ashwin?
What is the probability that it is acceptable to Kanwar? ​

Answer 1

P(Acceptable to ashwin) = 78/100= 39/50

P(acceptable to kanwar) = 98/100= 49/50
