Out of 500 new cell phones, 13 will be expected to be defective

Explanation:

To determine how many cell phones are expected to be defective, multiply the number of new cell phones by the probability of being defective in decimal form. #(2.6%=0.026)#

#500xx0.026=13#

Out of 500 new cell phones, 13 will be expected to be defective.
