Question

Is there anybody in CA 9th grade that can help me with this question?

Answer 1

A cell phone company orders 500 new phones from a manufacturer. If the probability of a phone being defective is 2.6%, predict how many of the phones are likely to be defective. Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer 2

what is 1% of 500?

Answer 3

a percent is just a division by 100

1% of 500 is just: 500/100

Answer 4

1% * 2.6 = 2.6%

Answer 5

500*2.6%=13 so your answer is 13.

Answer 6

since a phone is not a fraction, you round up in the end

Answer 7

13 phones :D
