MP3 players in the shipment which are likely to be defective is 330.

Explanation:

• Probability is event of an occurrence which is uncertain.

• Probability always lies between 0 to 1.

• The sample of 50 MP3 has 6 defective, to solve it has to be converted.

• Convert percentage in 100 multiply numerator and denominator by 2.

• Result is 6/50 converted to 12/100, bring it to 0.12%.

• 12% is defected in 100% of sample.

• It is found here that 2750 is the population and 12% of 2750.

2750 * 0.12 = 330, defective pieces in 2750.

• There are three types of Classical,Empirical or Experimental.

• Classical are ‘n’ number of events find the probability occurrence.

Empirical or experimental is purely based on events.
