Answer: 1000

Explanation:

Given : The proportion of the defective widgets manufactured by XYZ corp= 1%

= 0.01 [we divide a percent by 100 to convert it into decimal to perform further calculations]

If the total number of widgets manufactured by XYZ = 100000

Then, the number of defective widgets is expected to be

(proportion of defective widgets) x (number of widgets manufactured by XYZ)

= 0.01 x 100000

= 1000

Hence, the number of defective widgets is expected to be 1000 .
