Answer:

12 defective widgets

Explanation:

Here we calculate the "experimental probability:" 4 defective widgets out of 94 widgets comes out to a probability of being defective of 4/94, which of course could be reduced.

But we can go ahead and calculate the expected number of defective widgets by mult. that 282 widgets by the probability 4/94:

282 4

------- * ------- = 12

1 94

In this sample of 282 widgets, we could expect that 12 will be defective.
