Given: A table showing total shipment, successful, and missed
To Determine: The error in the table
Solution
Let us add the successful shipment to the missed shipment and compare with the total
Day 1
[tex]\begin{gathered} 15+1=16 \\ 16=16 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Day 2
[tex]\begin{gathered} 19+3=21 \\ 22\ne21 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Day 3
[tex]\begin{gathered} 22+2=24 \\ 24=24 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Day 4
[tex]\begin{gathered} 15+4=19 \\ 19=19 \end{gathered}[/tex]
From the above calculations, we can see that an error occurred in Day 2.
Hence, A math error was made when computing total shipments for Day 2, OPTION C
