In a shipment of 50 calculators, 4 are defective. One calculator is randomly selected and tested. What is the probability that it is defective

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Take the number of defective calculators and divide it by the total number of calculators.

OpenStudy (lilai3):

i got 0.08 KingGeorge

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

That's correct.

OpenStudy (lilai3):

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

If you want to convert it to percent, it would be 8%
