Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall experimental - probability formula

Experimental probability (P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of times event }A\text{ occurred}}{\text{Total number of trials}})

Step2: Identify values

The number of chipped vases (event occurred) is 2, and the total number of vases produced (total trials) is 10. So, (P(\text{chipped})=\frac{2}{10})

Step3: Simplify the fraction

(\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5})

Answer:

(\frac{1}{5})
