Question

A company did a quality check on all the packs of nuts it manufactured. Each pack of nuts is targeted to weigh 18.25 oz. A pack must weigh within 0.36 oz of the target weight to be accepted. What is the range of rejected masses, x, for the manufactured nuts?

x < 17.89 or x > 18.61 because |x - 18.25| > 0.36

x < 17.89 or x > 18.61 because |x - 0.36| + 18.25 > 0

x < 18.25 or x > 18.61 because |x - 18.25| > 0.36

x < 18.25 or x > 18.61 because |x - 0.36| + 18.25 > 0

Answer 1

Anything more than 18.25 + 0.36 will be rejected. Which means anything more than 18.61.

Anything less than 18.25 - 0.36 will also be rejected. Which means anything less than 17.89.

Therefore, if x < 17.89 or x > 18.61 it will be rejected. So that's the range of rejected masses.
