Answer 1

saler was wrong
$\frac{36}{600} \times 100 = 6\%$

Answer 2

Answer:

His Claim is wrong.

 

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Only 4% of the apples are defective.

A sample is given of 600 apples.

No of apples defective in sample = 36

We convert these no of apples in percentage, then check wholesaler's claim.

Percentage of apple that are defective in sample = $\frac{36}{600}\times100$

                                                                                  = $0.06\times100$

                                                                                  = 6 %

Therefore, His Claim is wrong.
