A toy company expects the ratio of broken toys to the total number of toys in all future shipments to be equal to the corresponding ratio for shipments S1, S2, S3, and S4 combined, as shown in the table above. What is the expected number of defective chips in a shipment of 630,000 toys?

A. 20
B. 24
C. 29
D. 30
E. 33

The ratio of broken toys to the total number of toys, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the broken toys in all shipments to the sum of the total number of toys in all shipments, is 20/420,000 = 1/21,000. We can let n = the number of defective toys in a shipment of 630,000 toys and create the following proportion:

1/21,000 = n/630,000

21,000n = 630,000

21n = 630

n = 30

Good question

Given ratio of broken toys to the total number of toys in all future shipments to be equal to the corresponding ratio for shipments S1, S2, S3, and S4 combined
20/420000 = 1/21000

now
in 21000 toys 1 is defective
in 630000 toys 30 will be defective
