Question

In a random sample, 3 of 400 computer chips are defective. Based on

the sample, how many chips out of 100,000 would you expect to be
defective?

Answer 1

750 of 100,000 chips would be expected to be defective.

Explanation:

(3/400) and (?/100,000)

100,000 ÷ 400 = 250.

Multiply 250 by 3 to find the number of defective chips.

250 x 3 = 750.
