Given that the probability of getting a bad egg in a lot of 800 eggs is 0.125.
The P(E) of the random experiment as,
P(A)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomes
Suppose the number of bad eggs be y.
So, by using the probability formula,  P(E)=y800
0.125=y800
y=0.125(800)
y=100
Therefore, the number of bad eggs is 100.
Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
