Question

A shipment to a warehouse consist of 4500 MP3 players. The manager chooses a random sample of 50 MP3 players and finds 2 are defective. How many MP3 players in the shipment are likely to be defective?

Answer 1

number of MP3 players: 4500

based on information given, 2 out of 50 MP3 players are defective. this means every 50 samples, 2 would be defective

4500/50 = 90

90 • 2 = 180

so, your final answer would be:

180 MP3 players in the shipment are likely to be defective
