Question

A lighting company receives shipments of light bulbs from a warehouse every week. The manager tracked the number of boxes that arrived last week with at least one broken bulb. Which of the following shows the number of boxes with broken bulbs last week, given that the manager determined the next delivery is likely to have 24% of the boxes contain at least one broken bulb?

A.
5 out of 25 boxes

B.
6 out of 25 boxes

C.
7 out of 25 boxes

D.
8 out of 25 boxes

Answer 1

To determine how many boxes had at least one broken bulb given that 24% of the boxes are expected to have broken bulbs, we can calculate 24% of 25 boxes.

First, we calculate 24% of 25:

\[
0.24 \times 25 = 6
\]

This means that out of 25 boxes, we would expect approximately 6 boxes to contain at least one broken bulb.

Given the answer options, the correct choice is:

**B. 6 out of 25 boxes**
