31) In a crossbow manufacturing facility, a quality control expert tests a randomly selected group of 1000 crossbows. If the expert finds 17 of the randomly selected crossbows are defective, which of the following inferences would be most supported?

1. 98.3% of the crossbows are defective.
2. 98.3% of the crossbows are not defective. 
3. 1.7% of the crossbows are not defective. 
4. 9.83% of the crossbows are defective. 

If 17 of the 1,000 are defective, that translates to around 1.7%. Read the statements carefully, and Answer 2 is the only one that is true.
