Answer:

4 is expected to be damaged out of the next 20

Explanation:

From the observation made, we have that 4 of the toys were damaged and 16 were not damaged

Thus, the probability of having a damaged toy is 4/20 = 1/5

Now, for the next 20; we have 1/5 of them expected to be damaged

So, the expected damaged number out of the next 20 will be:

1/5 * 20 = 4
