The empirical probability that a unit will pass the inspection can be calculated by dividing the number of units that passed by the total number of units inspected:
Total units = 1000
Defective units = 150
Units that passed = 1000 - 150 = 850
Empirical probability of passing = 850/1000 = 0.85
Therefore, the probability is 85% or 0.85. So the closest option is 1.5%.
