In a factory that manufactures tires, a machine responsible for molding the tire has a failure rate of 0.2%. if 1,000 tires are produced in a day, of which 6 are faulty, what is the difference between the experimental probability and the theoretical probability?

0.004 or 0.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the failure rate of machine is 0.2%.

Hence, the theoretical probability is 0.2/100 = 0.002

Now, it has been given that out of 1000 tires 6 are defective.

Therefore, the experimental probability is given by 6/1000=0.006

Hence, the difference between the experimental probability and the theoretical probability is

0.006 - 0.002

= 0.004 or 0.4%
