    17

    Step-by-step explanation:

    As 2 phones are defective from a group of 98 that were checked, you can determine a percentage:

    2/98 = 2%

    This indicates that 2% of the phones are likely to be defective and because of that you can find 2% of 850:

    850*2% = 17

    According to this, 17 phones are likely to be defective.
