Write the claim that is suggested by the given statement, then write a conclusion about the claim. Do not use symbolic expressions or formal procedures; use common sense.

This year the company tightened up its quality control procedures. The latest shipment of 250 washing machines contained 2 defectives.

Answer to Question 1

The claim is that the defect rate has decreased and is now less than 9. If the overall defect rate were still 9, it would be extremely unlikely that a shipment of 250 washing machines would contain as few as 2 defectives. Therefore the claim that the defect rate has decreased is probably correct.

Answer to Question 2

wohoo thank youuu.

Answer to Question 3

B
