Question 978974


Let us assume that the defected cars are  "uniformly distributed"  in the total set of cars.


Then we can write the proportion &nbsp;{{{8/360}}} = {{{x/1260}}}&nbsp; for the unknown amount &nbsp;<B>x</B>&nbsp; of defected cars among &nbsp;1260&nbsp; cars. 


Solving the proportion for &nbsp;<B>x</B>&nbsp; you get


{{{x}}} = {{{8*1260/360}}} = {{{8*3.5}}} = {{{28}}}. 


<B>Answer</B>. &nbsp;We can expect &nbsp;28&nbsp; defected cars.
