------------------------
Binomial Problem with n=6 and p = 0.04
----
P(at least one defective) = 1 - P(none are defective)
---
= 1 - 0.96^6

= 1 - 0.7828

= 0.2172

8000*.04=320
8000-320=7680
7680C6/8000C6 = .7827 probability none found defective.
1-.7827=.2173 the probability that the entire batch will be rejected.
