The technician expects to find 24 defective bulbs when 336 are tested. Which statement explains whether the technician's reasoning is correct, based on the information in the table?

The reasoning is correct. The ratio of number of bulbs tested to defective bulbs is always 14 to 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We generally expect industrial processes to produce defects at about the same rate, meaning the proportion of defective product is generally considered to be a constant. Here, the proportion of defective bulbs is ...

... 1/14 = 2/28 = 6/84

so we expect it will be also 24/336. That is, the ratio of the number of bulbs tested to defective bulbs is expected to remain constant at about 14.
