To determine the probability of selecting a DVR that is **not defective** from the inventory, follow these steps:

1. **Total Number of DVRs:** 100
2. **Number of Defective DVRs:** 5

3. **Number of Non-Defective DVRs:**
   $$
   100 \text{ (total)} - 5 \text{ (defective)} = 95 \text{ non-defective DVRs}
   $$

4. **Probability of Selecting a Non-Defective DVR:**
   $$
   \frac{95 \text{ non-defective DVRs}}{100 \text{ total DVRs}} = 0.95 \text{ or } 95\%
   $$

**Answer:**  
The probability of selecting a non-defective DVR is 95 %.
The probability of selecting a non-defective DVR is 95%.
