Question

7 of the 50 digital video recorders​ (DVRs) in an inventory are known to be defective. What is the probability that a randomly selected item is​ defective?

Answer 1

30

50

simplifies into

3

5

, so that would be the probability of you picking out a DVR that works, and the probability of picking one that does not work would be the leftover

2

5

. Or, if you're answering with a percent, you would have a 60% chance of picking a working DVR.
