The empirical probability that a unit will pass the inspection can be calculated by subtracting the number of units that were rejected due to defects from the total number of units inspected, and then dividing by the total number of units inspected.
Therefore, the calculation is as follows:
(1,000 - 150) / 1,000 = 850 / 1,000 = 0.85
The approximate empirical probability that a unit will pass the inspection is 0.85, which is equivalent to 85%. Thus, the closest answer from the given options is 1.5%, or 0.015.
