Answer:
[tex]\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
Number of batteries that do not have a charge = 14
Total number of batteries = 20
To find:
Experimental probability that the next battery checked does not have a charge = ?
Solution:
First of all, let us learn about the definition of experimental probability.
Probability is the chances of happening of an event.
Formula for probability of happening of an event E is given as:
[tex]P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}[/tex]
Here we have to find the probability of checking a battery that has no charge.
So, number of favorable cases = Number of batteries that do not have a charge = 14
AND
Total Number of cases = Total number of batteries to be checked = 20
So, the required probability is:
[tex]\dfrac{14}{20} = \bold{\dfrac{7}{10}}[/tex]
