Question

scovery EducationA car manufacturer randomly selected 5,000 cars from their production line and foundthat 85 had some defects. If 100,000 cars are produced by this manufacturer, how manycars can be expected to have defects?

Answer 1

Ok, so

We know that 85 cars had defects

Then, the probability to produce one car with defects will be:

P = 85/5,000 (which is equal to 0.017.)

We want to know how many cars can be expected to have defects for a total of 100,000.

For this, we multiply:

0.017 * 100,000, and this is 1700 cars.
