Self-study
A clothing manufacturer reports that unsalable garments, those found to be defective by inspectors plus those returned by retailers, total 7 percent of the garments produced. ████████ ██ ███████ ████ ███ ██ ███ █████████ ████████ ███ ████████ ██ ██████ ███ ███ ██████████ ██ ████████ ████████ ██ ████████ █████ ██ █ ████████
"Surprising" Phenomenon
Why is the percent of garments reported as recycled scrap 9% even though the percent of garments considered unsalable, which are all included in the garments recycled as scrap, is 7%?
Objective
The correct answer should differentiate between the category “garments reported as recycled scrap” and “garments considered unsalable” in a way that would lead the recycled scrap % to be higher. For example, maybe there are additional items that are part of garments reported as recycled scrap besides just garments considered unsalable.
