Given:
24,000 books
Between 3 and 4 books will have a printing error in every
3000 printed books
Find: in the
24000 books, the total number of books that will have a printing error
Solution:
Based from the given,
we need to know how many sets of 3000 we
have in the 24000
books so:
24000 / 3000 = 8
Now, in each set of
3000 we have between 3 and 4 errors and we have 8 sets of 3000 books:
minimum errors 3 * 8 =
24
maximum errors 4 * 8 =
32
Therefore, at this
rate, the number of books that will have a printing error in the
24000
<span>will be between 24 and
32 or 24 < E < 32.</span>
