Question

sasha's dad runs a cupcake bakery. the final step in icicng each cupcake is using white icing to create a linear design on top. the manufacturer predicts that one out of every 50 cupcakes will have a flaw in the design. if saha's dad prepared 98 dozen cupcakes last week, approximately how many cupcakes would be expected to have a flaw design.

Answer 1

Sasha's dad expects to have between 23 and 24 cupcakes with flaw design

Explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Flaw prediction in the design by the manufacturer = 1 out of 50 cupcakes

Last week production = 98 dozens

2. Approximately how many cupcakes would be expected to have a flaw design?

For answering this question we have to find out the exact number of last week production, this way:

Last week production = 98 dozens

Last week production = 98 * 12 = 1,176

Now, we can calculate the number of cupcakes that would be expected to have a flaw design:

Number of cupcakes with a flaw design = 1,176/50 = 23.52

Sasha's dad expects to have between 23 and 24 cupcakes with flaw design
