  2. B \(0.06\)
  3. C \(0.006\)
  4. D \(1.07\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\mathrm{X}\) denotes the number of defective baskets.
\(\therefore\) Possible values of \(\mathrm{X}\) are \(0,1,2\).
Now, selection of baskets is done without replacement, we get
\(P(X=0)=\frac{14}{20} \times \frac{13}{19}=\frac{182}{380}\)
