Nasir · Answer 1

The expected value for the number of cars with defects can be obtained by multiplying the probability of success (i. e. the percentage of products with defects - 40%) by the number of cases (i. e. the number of cars purchased - 5).

40 / 100 X 5 = 2

Therefore, the expected value for the number of cars with defects will be the percentage of products with defects is 2
