Question

Today, a factory inspector found flaws in 2 out of 16 wooden boxes. If the inspector checks 24 boxes tomorrow, predict how many of the boxes will be flawed.

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

The assumed frequency of defects is 2/16.

When we apply this rate to 24, (2/16)*24, we get 3.

Therefore, we can assume around 3 defective boxes tomorrow.
