Question

A tech retailer sold a batch of 1100 laptops of two types: Standard and 2-in1. A significant portion of these laptops had defects. The batch had 400 2-in1 laptops, 200 of which were defective. The retaller had sold a total of 600 defective laptops. Calculate the following (Round the answer to 2 decimalplaces) :

1. The probability of a sold laptop being 2-int: [A]%

Answer 1

The probability of a sold laptop being a 2-in-1 is approximately 36.36%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of a sold laptop being a 2-in-1, we need to calculate the total number of 2-in-1 laptops sold divided by the total number of laptops sold. According to the data provided, there were 400 2-in1 laptops out of a total of 1100 laptops. The formula for probability is:

Probability (P) = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes)

Thus, the probability of a sold laptop being a 2-in-1 is:

P(2-in1) = 400 / 1100
P(2-in1) ≈ 0.3636 or 36.36%
