A factory produces 1000 bottles of pasta sauce in a day. Fifty bottles are selected at random to determine whether they weigh th
e correct amount. The factory rejects bottles that are over or under the correct weight. One bottle is underweight, 46 bottles are the correct weight, and 3 bottles are overweight.
Based on this random sample, approximately how many bottles will the factory reject from the day's production?
Approximately 80 bottles will the factory reject. In the sample of the 50 bottles, one bottle is underweight, three are overweight, so 3+1=4 bottles are not the correct weight and will be rejected. Four out of fifty would be rejected, or one out of 12.5. Therefore, approximately 1000*1/12.5=80 bottles will be rejected.
You would multiply 62 1/4 and 4. Which you cant do that so you would have to make it into a inproper fraction so that will be 249/4 times 4/1 then you can multiply which your answer would be 996 /4 and then in simplest form would be 249/1= 249
