A quality controller inspected 1000 units of a product and rejected 150 units due to defects find the experimental probability that a unit will pass inspection

1 answer

Experimental probability is calculated by dividing the number of times the event occurred by the total number of opportunities for the event to occur.

In this case, the event is a unit passing inspection, and it occurred 1000 - 150 = 850 times out of the total 1000 units inspected.

Therefore, the experimental probability that a unit will pass inspection is 850/1000 = 0.85, or 85%.
