Question

If my factory produces 12 defective computers in a batch of 60,000, it means my factory produced 1 defective product for every 5,000 computers produced, or 1/5000. If your factory produced 10 defective computers in a batch of 60,000, what is your factory's effectiveness?

a) 1/6,000
b) 1/5,000
c) 1/4,000
d) 1/3,000

Answer 1

The effectiveness of the factory is 1/6,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The effectiveness of the factory refers to the ratio of defective products to the total number of products produced. In the given scenario, your factory produced 10 defective computers in a batch of 60,000. To calculate the effectiveness, divide the number of defective computers by the total number of computers produced: 10 / 60,000 = 1/6,000.
