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)
3/20
0.15%
17/20
1.5%
To find the empirical probability that a unit will pass the inspection, we need to determine the proportion of units that passed the inspection out of the total number inspected.
Number of units that passed the inspection = 1000 - 150 = 850
Empirical probability of a unit passing the inspection = Number of units that passed the inspection / Total number of units inspected
= 850 / 1000
= 17/20
= 0.85
= 85%
Therefore, the empirical probability that a unit will pass the inspection is 17/20 or 85%. None of the provided options are correct.
