A RADIO HUT QUALITY INSPECTOR EXAMINES A SAMPLE OF 50 RADIOS AND FINDS THAT 5 ARE DEFECTIVE. WHAT IS THE BEST PREDICTION OF THE NUMBER OF DEFECTIVE RADIOS IN A DELIVERY OF 200 RADIOS?
*
1 point
195 radios
5 radios
20 radios
50 radios
Based on the given data, the proportion of defective radios among the sample is 5/50 or 0.10, which can be expressed as a decimal or a percentage as 10%. To predict the number of defective radios in a delivery of 200, we can use this proportion as an estimate and calculate as follows:
Number of defective radios = 0.10 x 200 = 20
Therefore, the best prediction of the number of defective radios in a delivery of 200 radios is 20. The answer is C. 20 radios.
FIND THE VALUE OF 7!

To find the value of 7!, we need to calculate the factorial of 7, which is the product of all positive integers from 1 to 7.
7! = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
= 5,040
Therefore, the value of 7! is 5,040. The answer is B. 5,040.

This problem requires us to calculate the number of combinations of 4 members that can be formed from a group of 13 people, which includes 7 men and 6 women.
The formula for calculating combinations is:
nCr = n! / r!(n-r)!
where n is the total number of objects, r is the number of objects to be chosen, and ! denotes the factorial operation.
Using this formula, we can calculate the number of different committees that can be formed as follows:
13C4 = 13! / 4!(13-4)!
= 13! / 4!9!
= (13 x 12 x 11 x 10) / (4 x 3 x 2 x 1)
= 7,315 / 24
= 305.625
Since we can't have a fractional number of committees, we round the result to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, the number of different committees that can be formed is 306. The answer is not listed, but the closest option is C. 585.
