To approximate the empirical probability that a unit will pass inspection, we need to 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 of a unit passing inspection = 850/1000 = 0.85
Therefore, the empirical probability that a unit will pass inspection is approximately 0.85.
A quality controller inspected 1,000 units of a product and and rejected 150 units due to defects. Approximate the empirical probability that a unit will pass that inspection.
