A machine in a factory has an error rate of 3 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 40 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 5 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did it produce yesterday?

Yesterday, the machine was able to produce 737 parts that had no error.

First find the number of hours the machine was operational the previous day:

= 24 hours - 5 hours for maintenance

= 19 hours operational

In that time, the machine would have produced:

= Number of hours operational x Parts produced per hour

= 19 x 40

= 760 parts

The machine has an error rate of 3 parts out of 100 which means that it produces 97 parts out of 100, error free. The number of parts it most likely produced error-free is:

= Number of parts produced x Proportion produced error-free

= 760 x 97/100

= 737.2

= 737 parts

We can conclude that the machine produced 737 error-free parts.
