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

Question

140 computers
7 computers
169 computers
265 computers

Answer 1

Using proportion:

7/50 = x/1000

Cross-multiply:

50x = 7000

Divide both sides by 50:

x = 140

Therefore, the estimate for how many defective computers are made each day is 140 computers.

The answer is: 140 computers.
