Question

In a batch of 390 water purifiers, 12 were found to be defective l. What is the probability that a water purifier chosen at random will be defective? Write the probability as a percent. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

3.08 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

if you do proportions, then it would go like this:

12/390 = x/100

(cross multiply)

390x = 1200

(divide both sides by 390 to get x by itself)

x = 3.07692307692

round and its about 3.08 percent
