The probability that a unit will pass the inspection can be calculated by taking the number of units that passed (1,000 - 150 = 850) and dividing it by the total number of units inspected (1,000).
Therefore, the empirical probability that a unit will pass the inspection is 850/1000 = 0.85 or 85%.
So, the closest answer choice is 1.5%.
