Question

Answer 1

Answer: 57

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 0.0175

Explanation:

Number of calculators returned to the manufacturer= 1,485

Number of calculators produced=85,000

The probability that a calculator would be returned would be gotten by dividing the number of calculators returned to the manufacturer by the number of calculators produced. This will give:

= 1485/85000

= 0.0175

The probability that a calculator would be returned is 0.0175
