In a batch of 1160 calculators, 5 were found to be defective. What is the probability that a calculator chosen at random will be defective? Write the probability as a percent. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.
how many were defective?
5
good, and how many calculators were in the batch?
1160
good .. now that we have all the information. The rule is. Take the number of items we are looking for; and divide by the total number items in total 5/1160
the % number will be x100 of that result
0.4% right ?
yes, that would be to the nearest tenth
thank u so much for ur help :)
