Based on this sample, and assuming the word "widget" means removed, the answer is four. They only tested 50 bottles and found four (one under, three over). The question also contains the word "Jack's, " the meaning is unclear. The factory shipped 1000 bottles of Hosta sauce, assuming the same ratio as the random sample (0.0008%) then the factory shipped 80 bottles that are incorrect.
