The restaurant is using acceptance sampling, which involves inspecting a sample of items from a larger batch to determine whether or not the entire batch should be accepted or rejected. This method is commonly used in situations where it would be too time-consuming or costly to inspect every single item in a large batch. In this case, the restaurant is inspecting a sample of 10 napkins to determine the quality of the entire batch of napkins returned by the laundry.
