Question

The quality control department of a company that manufactures watches knows that 5% of its production has some type of defect. If the watches are packed in boxes of 25 elements, how many watches with defects are expected in one box?

Answer 1

To find out how many watches with defects are expected in one box, multiply 5% (0.05) by 25. The answer is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many watches with defects are expected in one box, we need to calculate 5% of 25.

5% can be written as 0.05 in decimal form. Multiply 0.05 by 25 to get the answer. 0.05 * 25 = 1.

Therefore, one watch with a defect is expected in one box.
