A manufacturing factory produces a product, which can get the profit of $1000 for every unit that sold (that unit is non-defective). The factory produces 11 units of that product with one defective unit. In order to find the defective unit, the factory uses an investigating scheme on production items before they are sold.
The investigating scheme as follow:
- More than one unit can be checked for every single checking process.
- Every single checking process will cost $1000.
- After the checking process, each of the non-defective product can be sold and gain the profit of $1000.
- During the checking process, if the defective unit is investigated, all the units in that checking process will be considered as defective item and cannot be sold.
Based on the investigating scheme, what is the best strategy for the factory so that they can gain the maximum profit even in the worst situation. Find the profit that they can gain (in the worst situation).
