Every alternate day, quality control inspectors at McHeinz Inc. randomly select items from an assembly line for inspection, and compliment the workers for every product that meets their expectations on quality. However, they vary the number of items they inspect each time. This motivates the employees to put in more effort to ensure that all the items are of the required quality. What reinforcement schedule are the quality control inspectors using?

Variable-ratio                    

Explanation:

Variable-ratio schedule: In psychology, the term "variable-ratio schedule" is described as one of the different reinforcement schedules in the operant conditioning theory which was proposed by B. F.
