Separate shipment counts from sample-quality findings

Instruction: Reconcile the counts, calculate the two observed sample defect rates, and explain exactly what can and cannot be released or concluded.

Context:

Optional work sample for experienced associates: Written working is welcome. This is not a universal warehouse interview requirement.

All quantities below are individual units. Each actual quantity is a completed physical count of the whole group. Quality examined only the listed sample, and each defective sample unit has one defect. Samples are included in the actual quantities.

GroupExpectedActual whole-group countSample checkedSample finding
A120116Not sampledQuality not assessed
B8082Not sampledQuality not assessed
C6060102 visibly crushed units
D404081 wrong-model unit

Fictional policy: any count discrepancy or sample defect places the entire affected group on hold. Only the designated inventory or quality lead may resolve and release a held group. An associate records observed results and does not extrapolate sample findings into inventory adjustments.
