At a grocery store the manager randomly selects 20 cartons of eggs, he finds 3 cartons with at least 1 broken egg. if the refrigerator holds 500 cartons, how many would you expect to have at least 1 broken egg? a shipment to a warehouse consists of 3700 dvd players. the manager chooses random sample of 50 dvd players and finds 3 are defective. how many dvd players are likely to be defective?

You would expect 75 cartons with at least 1 broken egg.

There are likely to be 222 DVD players that are defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both examples given in this question represent a ratio of broken or defective to a sample number of cartons or DVD players.  In order to find how many would be broken or defective overall, you can set up equivalent ratios, or proportions.

Egg Cartons:

'x' represents the number of cartons out of 500 that would be expected to have at least 1 broken egg.  To solve for 'x' you can cross-multiply and divide, or you can find what factor you would multiply the denominator by to get 500 and then multiply the same factor by the numerator to find 'x'.  In this case 500/20 = 25, so the factor is 25.  3 x 25 = 75, so you have 75 expected cartons with a broken egg.

DVD Players:  

'x' represents the number of DVD players out of 3700 that would be expected to be defective.  To solve for 'x' you can cross-multiply and divide, or you can find what factor you would multiply the denominator by to get 3700 and then multiply the same factor by the numerator to find 'x'.  In this case 3700/50 = 74, so the factor is 74.  3 x 74 = 222, so you have 22 likely defective DVD players.

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.
