(C) $(i)$ Total number of bulbs $= 20$.
Total number of defective bulbs $= 4$.
$P(\text{defective bulb}) = \frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{4}{20} = \frac{1}{5}$.
$(ii)$ After drawing one non-defective bulb,the remaining total number of bulbs $= 20 - 1 = 19$.
The number of non-defective bulbs remaining $= (20 - 4) - 1 = 15$.
$P(\text{non-defective bulb}) = \frac{\text{Number of non-defective bulbs}}{\text{Remaining total bulbs}} = \frac{15}{19}$.
