A quality controller inspected a thousand units of a product and rejected 150 units due to defects approximate the empirical probability that a unit will pass inspection
To calculate the empirical probability that a unit will pass inspection, we divide the number of units that passed inspection by the total number of units inspected.
Number of units that passed inspection = 1000 - 150 = 850
Total number of units inspected = 1000
Empirical probability = Number of units that passed inspection / Total number of units inspected
Empirical probability = 850 / 1000
Empirical probability = 0.85 or 85%
Therefore, the empirical probability that a unit will pass inspection is approximately 85%.
