Question

sixteen of the 100 digital video recorders (dvrs) in an inventory are known to be defective. what is the probability that a randomly selected item is defective?

the probability is
(type an integer or a decimal. do not round.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Probability Formula

Probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. Here, favorable outcomes (defective DVRs) = 16, total outcomes (total DVRs) = 100.

Step2: Calculate Probability

Probability $= \frac{16}{100} = 0.16$

Answer:

0.16
