Use decimals to express a probability in tenths.

A shelf has 20 bags of potatoes. Two of the bags have potatoes starting to go bad.

What is the expected probability of the complement of the event "bad bags of potatoes"?

There are 2 bad bags out of 20, so the probability of bad bags is 2/10=1/10=0.1
