\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let us assume that the defected cars are  \"uniformly distributed\"  in the total set of cars.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then we can write the proportion  \"8%2F360\" = \"x%2F1260\"  for the unknown amount  x  of defected cars among  1260  cars. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solving the proportion for  x  you get\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x\" = \"8%2A1260%2F360\" = \"8%2A3.5\" = \"28\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer.  We can expect  28  defected cars. \r
