Answer:

97/100

Explanation:

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one ids attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

Probability that the DVRs is not faulty = total number of faulty videos / total number of videos

total number of faulty videos = 100 - 3 = 97

total number of videos = 100

97/100
