A producer of electronic book readers is performing a quality check to ensure the reader’s backlight is working correctly. The plant manager tests 2,000 readers on Monday and finds that 8 have defective backlights. The fraction 1/x is the experimental probability of a book reader having a defective backlight. What is the value of x?

Respuesta :

the value of x is 250

Answer: x=250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total number of reader’s backlight tested by  plant manager=2000

The number of defective backlights=8

Now, the experimental probability of a book reader having a defective backlight is given by :-

[tex]\frac{1}{x}=\frac{8}{2000}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{250}\\\\\Rightarrow x=250[/tex]

Hence, the value of x = 250.
