A calculator manufacturing company checks 500 calculator units, and 25 of them have non-functioning keys. Approximate the relative frequency of a non-defective unit from this batch of items. Express your answer in the simplest form of a fraction.

1 answer

The number of non-defective units in the batch is 500 - 25 = 475.

The relative frequency of a non-defective unit is the number of non-defective units divided by the total number of units:

475/500 = 0.95

To express this as a fraction, we can write:

0.95 = 95/100

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5:

95/100 = 19/20

Therefore, the relative frequency of a non-defective unit is 19/20.
