Question

A quality manager at a manufacturing plant needs to get a sample of widgets for monitoring the manufacturing processes.He plans to choose one out of every N widgets produced. The plant makes about 5100 widgets per day, and the qualityteam has enough time to examine about 60 widgets each day. What value should the manager use for N? Enter a wholenumber.

Answer 1

Given:

Number of widgets produced per day = 5100 widgets

Number of widgets examined each day = 60 widgets per day

Let's find the value the manager should use since he plan to choose one out of every N widget produced.

To find the value of N, we have:

`\begin{gathered} N=\frac{\text{Widgets produced per day}}{Widgets\text{ examined each day}}=(5100)/(60)=85 \\ \\ N=85 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value the manager would use for N is 85

ANSWER:

85
