Question

You work at a T-shirt printing business. Of the 2,800 T-shirts shipped, 396 have a defect. What is the experimental probability that a T-shirt has a defect? Write your answer as a percent, to the nearest tenth of a percent. a 15.3% b 19.4% c 11.7% b 14.1%

Answer 1

Answer: 14.1%

Explanation:

Number of T-shirts shipped = 2800

Number of T-shirts that have a defect = 396

Therefore, the experimental probability that a T-shirt has a defect will be:

= Defect T-shirts / Total T-shirts × 100

= 396 / 2800 × 100

= 14.1%
