Question

Answer 1

Given:

Number of video players without defects out of 400 = 398

Let's predict the number of video players that will have defects out of 2000 video players.

To predict the number of video players that are likely to have no defects out of 2000 video players, we have:

`(398)/(400)\ast2000`

Let's evaluate the expression:

`\begin{gathered} (398)/(400)\ast2000 \\ \\ =0.995\ast2000 \\ \\ =1990 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, 1990 video players in the shipment are likely to have no defects.

ANSWER:

1990
