Apple manufactures iphones and checks some iphones for defects. Within the first five minutes of a work shift, an iphone is randomly selected from the completed iphones, and checked for defects.

b. Estimate how many iphones out of 3,000 manufactured can be expected to be defective. What if 5,000 were manufactured?
