Explanation / Answer

A company estimates that 1% of the computer chips produced inits plant are defective. How many chips must the company make andtest in orde rto be able to ship at lest 4,500 nondefectivechips? The answer is 4546...how????

the total number of chips - number bad chips is >= 4500
x=total number of chips
.01x = number of bad chips
x-.01x>=4500
combine x's
.99x>=4500
divide both sides by .99
(.99x)/.99>=4500/.99
x>=4545.4545
can't make a portion of a chip so
x>=4546
