A carton consist of 100 trousers of which 73 are good, 12 have minor defects and 15 have major defects. Kanu, a trader, will only accept the trousers which are good, but Radha, another trader, will only reject the trousers which have major defects. One trouser is drawn at random from the carton. What is the probability that, (i) it is acceptable to Kanu ? (ii) it is acceptable to Radha?
Total number of trousers = 100
Number of trousers which are good = 73
Number of trousers with minor defects = 12
Number of trousers with major defects = 15
Now, let the event that a trouser is acceptable to Kanu be E.
Event that a trouser is acceptable to Radha be F.
Number of favourable outcomes of event E = 73
Number of favourable outcomes of event F = 15
Total number of favourable outcomes = 100
(i)Probability that a trouser is acceptable = Probability of occurrence of event E = P(E)
P(E) = 
= 0.73
(ii)Probability that a trouser is not acceptable = Probability of occurrence of event F = P(F)
P(F) = 
= 0.15
