HELP PLS: A store receives a shipment of 5,000 MP3 players. In a previous shipment of 5,000 MP3 players, 300 were defective.

A store clerk generates random numbers to simulate a random sample of this shipment. The clerk lets the numbers 1
through 300 represent defective MP3 players, and the numbers 301 through 5,000 represent working MP3 players.
The results are given.
13 2,195 3,873 525 900 1 67 1,094 1,472 709 5,000
Based on the sample, how many of the MP3 players might the clerk predict would be defective?

Answer: 1,000 players

Step-by-step explanation: The result has two values between 1 through 300

out of the 10 value in the sample so the clerk would predict 5,000 *
image=1,000 defective players.
