A quality controller inspected 1,000 units of a product and rejected 150 units due to defects. Approximate the empirical probability that a unit will pass the inspection. (1 point)
The probability that a unit will pass the inspection can be calculated by subtracting the number of rejected units from the total units inspected and then dividing by the total number of units inspected.
Passing units = Total units inspected - Rejected units
Passing units = 1000 - 150
Passing units = 850
Empirical probability of passing inspection = (Passing units) / (Total units inspected)
Empirical probability of passing inspection = 850 / 1000
Empirical probability of passing inspection = 0.85
Therefore, the approximate empirical probability that a unit will pass the inspection is 0.85 or 85%.
