Question

The IRS employee checked 25 randomly selected forms. What is the probability of selecting a form with errors if 5 forms had errors?

a) 0.25
b) 0.20
c) 0.80
d) 0.75

Answer 1

The probability of selecting a form with errors is 0.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are given that an IRS employee checked 25 randomly selected forms and that 5 of those forms had errors. We want to find the probability of selecting a form with errors based on this information.

The probability of selecting a form with errors can be calculated by dividing the number of forms with errors by the total number of forms checked. In this case, there are 5 forms with errors out of 25 forms checked, so the probability is 5/25 = 0.20.

Therefore, the correct answer is b) 0.20.
