Question 38857: Can someone help me solve this problem?
Julio works as a quality control expert in a beverage factory. The assembly line that he monitors produces about 20,000 bottles in a 24-hour period. Julio samples about 120 bottles an hour and rejects the line if he finds more than 1/50 of the sample to be defective. About how many defective bottles should Julio allow before rejecting the entire line?
Thanks!

Well 1/50 of 120 bottles is 2.4 bottles...therefore he can allow two defective ones per hour before rejecting the whole line...the 3rd bad one and it's over...
