Question

An apple farmer finds that he has to throwout 30 bad apples from the 250 he has picked. What is the experimental probability that the next apples he picks will be good

Answer 1

0.88 = 88% probability that the next apples he picks will be good

Explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In an experimental probability, we have the number of outcomes a priori, that is, before the trial.

What is the experimental probability that the next apples he picks will be good?

250 apples, 250 - 30 = 220 good.

`p = (220)/(250) = 0.88`

0.88 = 88% probability that the next apples he picks will be good
