In a random sample of 200 cars of a particular model, 3 have a manufacturing defect. At this rate, how many of the 10,000 cars of the same model will have a manufacturing defect?

Correct answer: A. 150

  • A. 150
  • B. 200
  • C. 250
  • D. 300

Explanation

Choice A is correct. The fraction of the cars in the random sample that have a manufacturing defect is 3/200 = 0.015. At this rate, out of 10,000 cars, there would be 0.015 × 10,000 = 150 cars that have a manufacturing defect.
