Answer-
About 15 shipments are shipped late per day.
Solution-
A shipping department ships 500 boxes per day on average,
Approximately 97% of those shipments are shipped on time and the remaining 3% are shipped late.
Number of shipments shipped on time is,
[tex]=500\times \dfrac{97}{100} =485[/tex]
Number of shipments shipped late is,
[tex]=500\times \dfrac{3}{100} =15[/tex]
Therefore, 15 shipments are shipped late per day.
