So, we can define probability as the following ratio: Number of successful outcomes over Number of total outcomes. Suppose we define an event to be the drawing of one transistor from the lot. If we want to calculate the probability that it is defective, a "successful" event would be drawing a defective transistor. Hence there is 1 successful event. But we can choose from 500 transistors, hence there are 500 total outcomes. Thus, the ratio that defines the probability P is: p=1/500. Calculating this, yields that p=0.002 or p=2%
In Jaden’s yard, there is a triangular garden patch. He wants to plant a geranium in the patch at a point equidistant from all its vertices. J<span>aden should plant the geranium </span>"at the point of intersection of an angle bisector and a perpendicular bisector of the triangle."
