Suppose a sample of 1762 floppy disk is drawn. Of these disks, 70 were defective. Using the data estimate the proportion of disks which are defective. Enter your answer as a fraction or decimal number rounded to three decimal places.

In order to find the proportion of disks that are defective, we can divide the number of defective disks by the total number of disks in the sample:
[tex]p=\frac{70}{1762}=\frac{35}{881}[/tex]Therefore the proportion is 35/881.
