In a shipment of 850 widgets, 32 are found to be defective. At this rate, how many defective widgets could be expected in 22,000 widgets? Round to the nearest whole number.

32/850 = 0.0376 = 3.76%

0.0376 * 22,000 = _______ defective widgets

1234567890-098765432123456787654

To find out how many defective widgets could be expected in 22,000 widgets, we need to determine the proportion of defective widgets in the shipment of 850.

First, we calculate the defective rate as the number of defective widgets divided by the total number of widgets:

Defective rate = (Number of defective widgets) / (Total number of widgets)
Defective rate = 32 / 850

Now, we can use this defective rate to calculate the expected number of defective widgets in a shipment of 22,000:

Expected number of defective widgets = (Defective rate) * (Total number of widgets)
Expected number of defective widgets = (32 / 850) * 22,000

To round to the nearest whole number, we can round the result to the nearest integer.

Expected number of defective widgets = Rounded value of (32 / 850 * 22,000)
