On a toy assembly line, 6% of the toys are found to be defective. The quality control officer predicts that 812 toys will be found defective out of 16,824 toys made. Do you agree with this prediction? Explain.

Well 6 percent is defective. Find 6 percent of 16824.

.06 times 16824 = 1004.

812 is not the same, so you should not agree with the prediction. You should not agree because 6 percent of 16824 is 1004, which is clearly not or not even close to 812.

For the given prediction 6% is impossible. Because 6% of 16824 is 1009 which is 197 away from 812. For the given prediction percentage will be 4.826
