Question

what percentage of the quality sample is outside tolerance?
quality sample
within tolerance 47 units
outside tolerance 3 units
percentage outside tolerance = ?%
round to the nearest percent.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total units

Total units = Units within tolerance + Units outside tolerance = \(47 + 3=50\) units.

Step2: Calculate percentage outside tolerance

Percentage outside tolerance \(=\frac{\text{Units outside tolerance}}{\text{Total units}}\times100=\frac{3}{50}\times100\).
Since \(\frac{3}{50}\times100 = 3\times2=6\).

Answer:

\(6\)
