A factory inspector found flaws in 4 out of 22 wooden boxes. Considering this data, how many flawed boxes would you expect the inspector to find in a batch of 44 boxes?

Question

flawed boxes

Answer 1

Based on the proportion of flawed boxes found in the sample of 22 boxes (4 out of 22), we can estimate that approximately 18.18% of boxes in the batch are flawed.

Therefore, in a batch of 44 boxes, we would expect around 18.18% of the boxes to be flawed.

18.18% of 44 = 0.1818 * 44 = 8

Therefore, we would expect the inspector to find around 8 flawed boxes in a batch of 44 boxes.
