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?

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.
