To predict the number of defective items, we can calculate the defect rate per item and then apply it to the total quantity of each item produced.
a. Defect rate for shirts:
6 defects / 500 shirts = 0.012 defects per shirt
Predicted number of defective shirts:
0.012 defects per shirt * 24,000 shirts = 288 defective shirts
b. Defect rate for belts:
2 defects / 250 belts = 0.008 defects per belt
Predicted number of defective belts:
0.008 defects per belt * 24,000 belts = 192 defective belts
Therefore, the predicted number of defective items are:
a. 288 defective shirts
b. 192 defective belts
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
