    Given:

    24,000 books

    Between 3 and 4 books will have a printing error in every 3000 printed books

    Find: in the 24000 books, the total number of books that will have a printing error

    Solution:

    Based from the given, we need to know how many sets of 3000 we

    have in the 24000 books so:

    24000 / 3000 = 8

    Now, in each set of 3000 we have between 3 and 4 errors and we have 8 sets of 3000 books:

    minimum errors 3 * 8 = 24

    maximum errors 4 * 8 = 32

    Therefore, at this rate, the number of books that will have a printing error in the 24000

    will be between 24 and 32 or 24 < E < 32.
