Question

Two athletic shoe brands were studied to see which brand was manufactured with the least amount of defects. Brand A was found to have 5 out of 600 pairs of shoes with a defect. Brand B was found to have 5 out of 250 pairs of shoes with a defect.
Which brand of shoes is most likely to have defects in their shoes? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Brand B since the 5 defected occurs more often.

For every 250, 5 are defected, making the percent probability of it ever happening again is 2%,while Brand B only 0.0083%.

Answer 2

Answer:

Brand B is more likely to have more defects,because 250-5=245.245 divided by 250 is 98%.Brand A 600-5=595.595 divided by 600 is 99% so brand B is more likely to have defects.
