Detailed Solution

Given that there are 10 bulbs in which 6 are good

To lighten the room we need to select at least one bulb from the 6 good bulbs

Let S be the sample and let E be the event of lightining the room. 

nS=10C3 and nE is the number of ways not lighting the room

it means nE=4C3

Hence,

       PE=nEnS =4C310C3 =4·3·210·9·8 =130

Therefore, the probability of the event of " lightining the room" is

        PE=1-PE =1-130 =2930
