Answer:

15 phones, option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cell phone company orders new phones = 500

The probability of a phone is being defective = 2.9%

2.9% of 500 phones are = $\frac{2.9}{100}$ × 500

0.029 × 500 = 14.5 rounded to the nearest whole number is 15

The probability of 15 phones are defective out of 500 phones.
