Question

АThere are 1,000 cans of cat food produced daily at a factory. In the meeting last week, the company stated that of the 1,000 cans produced daily there is a probability of 1/20 of being dented.What statement IS TRUE related to the number of cans of cat food the company expects to be dented?In a five-day work week, there are about 100 cans that are dented in the factory.The factory can expect to have an average of 190 cans dented each day at the factory.The factory can expect to have about 25 cans dented each week of a five-day work week.The factory can expect to have an average of 50 cans dented each day they are produced at the factoryBСD

Answer 1

Given that the probability of any one can being bented is 1/20 and that we have a big sample size (1000 cans per day) we should expect that, on average, 1 out of every 20 cans becomes dented. That means that daily we should expect that 1000*(1/20)=1000/20=50 cans become dented. Thus, the right answer is D.
