Question

A glass vase factory recently produced 2 vases that were chipped and 12 vases that were not. What is the experimental probability that the next vase will be chipped?

Answer 1

Answer:
`(1)/(7)`

Explanation:

Given

Factory produces 2 chipped vases and 12 good vases

Experimental probability is different from theoretical probability as it depends upon the data of outcomes .

So Probability of getting a chipped vase is
`=\frac{\text{No of chipped vase}}{\text{Total vase} }`

`P=(2)/(14)`

`P=(1)/(7)`

So there is a probability of
`(1)/(7)` of getting a chipped vase.
