Based on the sample data, we can calculate the proportion of defective watches in the sample: 3 / 400 = 0.0075.

To estimate the number of defective watches in the total population of 10,500 watches, we can use this proportion: 0.0075 * 10,500 = 78.75.

Therefore, we would expect approximately 78 or 79 watches to be defective out of a total of 10,500 watches based on this sample data.
