At the Jumping Jack cookie factory, quality assurance inspectors remove broken or otherwise defective cookies from a moving conveyor belt prior to packaging. Based on past studies, the plant manager knows that the inspectors eliminate 98% of the defective cookies at a conveyor belt speed of 9 feet per minute. As the belt speed increases, the factory can produce more cookies per hour, but at the cost of lower quality of the packaged product.
