Question 108082: 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?
Can someone please help me with this problem? I do not even no where or how to begin?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1/50*24*120=2880/50=57.6 DEFECTS IN THE 24 HOUR SAMPLE IS THE TARGET FOR SHUTTING DOWN THE LINE.
HE SHOULD SHUT DOWN THE LINE IF 58 OF THE 2880 SAMPLES ARE DEFECTIVE.
