Question

A company makes shirts, pants, belts, and socks. It makes 24,000 of each item. Predict the number of items likely to be defective:
A. 6 defects in 500 shirts
B. 2 defects in 250 belts

A. ___ shirts
B. ____ belts

Answer 1

Wrong

Answer 2

A. 48 shirts
B. 10 belts

Answer 3

Apologies, let's calculate the number of defects in the total production:

A. For shirts: 6 defects in 500 shirts = (6/500) = 0.012 defects per shirt
Total number of defects for 24,000 shirts = 0.012 * 24,000 = 288 defects

B. For belts: 2 defects in 250 belts = (2/250) = 0.008 defects per belt
Total number of defects for 24,000 belts = 0.008 * 24,000 = 192 defects

So, the predicted number of defects are:
A. 288 shirts
B. 192 belts
