In a shipment of 400 parts 14 are found to be defective how many defective parts should be expected in a shipment of 1000?

125

35

No.

Use a proportion. Cross multiply and solve for x.

14/400 = x/1000

To find the expected number of defective parts in a shipment of 1000, you can use a proportion based on the ratio of defective parts in the original shipment of 400.

First, calculate the proportion of defective parts in the original shipment:
14/400 = x/1000

Cross-multiply:
400x = 14 * 1000

Divide by 400 to solve for x:
x = (14 * 1000) / 400

x = 35

Therefore, you would expect 35 defective parts in a shipment of 1000.

To find the number of expected defective parts in a shipment of 1000, we can use proportions.

First, we calculate the defective parts per part ratio in the original shipment:
defective parts ratio = (number of defective parts) / (total number of parts)
defective parts ratio = 14 / 400 = 0.035

Next, we apply this ratio to the new shipment size:
number of defective parts in new shipment = (defective parts ratio) * (total number of parts in new shipment)
number of defective parts in new shipment = 0.035 * 1000 = 35

Therefore, it is expected that there will be 35 defective parts in a shipment of 1000.
