[tex]\huge{\boxed{72}}[/tex]
First, find the total number of apples. [tex]6*1200=7200[/tex]
Now, multiply this by the probability of picking a rotten apple, which is [tex]\frac{1}{100}[/tex]. This is also the same as dividing by [tex]100[/tex], or moving the decimal point two places to the left. [tex]7200*\frac{1}{100}=72[/tex]
This means that based on the probability given, [tex]72[/tex] rotten apples will be picked.

Probability is simply how likely something is to happen. Whenever we're unsure about the outcome of an event, we can talk about the probabilities of certain outcomes—how likely they are.
Given
Probability of picking rotten apple in a box is [tex]\frac{1}{100}[/tex].
There are 6 boxes containing 1200 apples each
Number of rotten apple may be picked to be find.
Total number of apples = [tex]6 \times 1200 = 7200[/tex]
Number of rotten apple may be picked = [tex]7200 \times \frac{1}{100}[/tex]
= 72
Number of rotten apple may be picked are 72.
