Answer-

About 15 shipments are shipped late per day.

Solution-

A shipping department ships 500 boxes per day on average,

Approximately 97% of those shipments are shipped on time and the remaining 3% are shipped late.

Number of shipments shipped on time is,

$=500\times \dfrac{97}{100} =485$

Number of shipments shipped late is,

$=500\times \dfrac{3}{100} =15$

Therefore, 15 shipments are shipped late per day.
