The probability of selecting a defective bulb is 0.16.

Given: 8 Bulbs are defective out of 50 bulbs. To find the probability that a randomly selected item is defective.

What is probability?

Probability shows the possibility of how likely an event is happening to occur out of all the possibilities.

Let’s solve the problem:

Total number of video recorders: 50

The sample space n(S) = 50

Number of defective bulbs: 8

Let E be the event of selecting a defective bulb.

Then n(E) = 8

Therefore, the probability of selecting a defective bulb: Number of defective bulbs / Total number of bulbs

=> n(E) / n(S)

=> 8 / 50

=> 0.16

Hence the probability of selecting a defective bulb is 0.16.
