Sagot :
Total of 20 bags
2 "bad bags"
Bad/total=2/20=1/10
Theres a 10% or 1/10 chance that you will pick a bad bag

Answer:
the expected probability will be (1/10) or 10%.
Step-by-step explanation:
A shelf has 20 bags of potatoes. Two of the bags have potatoes starting to go bad.
So set of events will be n(s) = 20
and favorable event n(E) = 2
Therefore, probability of the complement of the event "bad bags potatoes" will be
P = [tex]\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2}{20}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
Therefore, the expected probability will be (1/10) or 10%.
