From the question, we are told that a producer of electronic book readers is performing a quality check to make sure that the reader's backlight is working correctly. Then, the plant manager tests 2,000 readers on Monday and finds that 8 have defective backlights. The fraction 1/x is the experimental probability of a book reader having a defective backlight. What is the value of x?
Number of tested readers= 2000
Defective backlight = 8
Probability of having a defective backlight will be the number of defective backlight divided by the number of readers tested. This will be:
