Tony works in a factory that produces 1,000 computers each day. When 50 computers were sampled, it found that 7 were defective. Estimate how many computers are made each day.

Answer 1

We can set up a proportion to solve for the estimated number of computers made each day:

defective computers / total sampled computers = defective computers per day / total computers made per day

Using the numbers given in the problem:

7/50 = x/1000

Solving for x:

x = (7/50) * 1000

x = 140

Therefore, we can estimate that about 140 computers are made each day.
