Question 1152885: Please help me solve this question:
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 45
tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn't meet the required specifications. If one shipment of 5000
aspirin tablets actually has a 4
%
rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? Will almost all such shipments be accepted, or will many be rejected?
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
probability of 0 defects is .96^45=0.1593
prob of 1 defect is 45*0.04*0.96^44=0.2987
that sum is 0.4580. That is about half, so many will be rejected.
