Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Number of transistors in a lot = 500

Number of defective transistors in a lot = 1

To find: Probability of selecting a defective transistor from the lot.

$Probability=\frac{Number\:of\:Favorable\:Outcome}{Total\:Number\:of\:Outcome}$

$Probability\:of\:getting\:a\:bad\:transistor=\frac{1}{500}$

Therefore, Option A is correct.

The answer is 1/500 because it will always be the probability of the event occurring/total events
