A manufacturer inspects 1000 cars and finds that 988 cars have no defects. What is the experimental probability that a car chosen at random will have no defects? If there are 2500 cars in a company, predict the number of cars that are likely to have no defects.

The experimental probability is the number of cars with no defect/ total cars inspected: 988/100 = 0.988


multiply total cars by experimental probability

2500 x 0.988 = 2470
