in a shipment of 50 calculators, 4 are defective. 1 calculator is randomly picked. what is the probability that it is defective.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

You're picking out one calculator. So just divide the number of defective calculators by the total.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Surely sounds as tho' the probability of a calc. chosen at random is simply 4/50. Change that to a percentage and/or a decim. fraction.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Don't forget to fully reduce any fractions (if they want the answer as a fraction).
