A quality-conscious disk manufacturer wishes to know the fraction of disks his company makes which are defective. Step 1 of 2: Suppose a sample of 2346 floppy disks is drawn. Of these disks, 1971 were not defective. Using the data, estimate the proportion of disks which are defective. Enter your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The proportion of disks which are defective is 0.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion of defective disks is the number of defective disks in the sample divided by the size of the sample.

In this question:

2346 disks.

1971 not defective, so 2346 - 1971 = 375 defective.

[tex]p = \frac{375}{2346} = 0.16[/tex]

The proportion of disks which are defective is 0.16.
