Question 39458: Can you 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!

HE SAMPLES 120 PER HOUR & REJECTS THE LINE IF HE FINDS MORE THAN 1/50 BAD OR 120*(1/50) OR 120/50 OR 2.4 OR IF HE FINDS 3 DEFECTIVE BOTTLES IN ANY 120 SAMPLE HE SHUTS DOWN THE LINE.
