    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?

    Theoretical probability = Failure Rate * Tires
    Theoretical probability = 0.002 * 1000
    Theoretical probability = 2

    The experimental probability was given as 6, so the difference is:
    6 - 2 = 4
