Solution

Let the number of bad eggs = x
Given: Probability of bad eggs = 0.035
Total number of eggs = 400
Probability = $\frac{N u m b e r o f f a v o u r a b l e o u t c o m e s}{T o t a l n u m b e r o f o u t c o m e s}$
0.035 = $\frac{x}{400}$
0.035 $*$ 400=x or x=14
Total no. of rotten eggs = 14.
