Answer 1

The defect rate is 3 out of 80 cars, which is equivalent to 3/80 = 0.0375 or 3.75%.

If we apply this defect rate to 1,000 cars, we can predict that approximately 3.75% of 1,000 cars will be defective.

1000 * 0.0375 = 37.5

Therefore, approximately 38 cars out of 1,000 will be defective.

So, the answer is 38.

Therefore, the closest answer is 38.

Answer 3

I apologize for the oversight in the initial response. Let's correct the calculation:

The defect rate is 3 out of 80 cars, which is equivalent to 3/80 = 0.0375 or 3.75%.

If we apply this defect rate to 1,000 cars, we can predict that approximately 3.75% of 1,000 cars will be defective.

1000 * 0.0375 = 37.5

Therefore, approximately 37 cars out of 1,000 will be defective.

Therefore, the correct answer is 38.

I appreciate your attention to detail, and I apologize for any confusion caused. The correct answer is 38 cars out of 1,000 will be defective.
