Wait nvm

brooke..help00 · Answer

That are bad not how many fell out.

lfghjyt · Answer

There are 2 bad bags out of 20, so the probability of bad bags is 
2/10 = 1/10 = 0.1 

But we want the complement, which is the probability of bags which are not bad, and that's 
1 - 0.1 = 
d] 0.9 
as discussed above.
