For a certain manufacturer only 4/5 of the item produced are not defective. If 2,000 items are manufactured in a month, how many are not defective?

Answer:

1600 items should not be defective

Explanation:

To determine the number of items that are not defective, we multiply the number of items we have by the probability that they are not defective.

Not defective items = items * probability

= 2000 * 4/5

1600
