on a toy assembly line, 3% of the toys are found to be defective. The quality control officer predicts that 872 toys will be found defective out of the 24,850 toys made. Do you agree with this prediction? Explain.
No, I don't agree with this prediction. If you were to times 24,850 by 3% you would get 745, which would be the number of defective toys. 872 defective toys is 3.5% of 24,850 toys.
