Question 734483: Three packages of hamburger are contaminated with E.coli. If only one package is tested, what is the probability that one of the conaminated packages is tested? Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The probability is 1/3 or 0.3333 (which is a 33.333% chance). This is because there is 1 contaminated package out of 3 total.
