A local company has a policy that it will reject a shipment of parts from its supplier if inspectors find any defective parts in a random sample of five parts from the shipment.
---------
The supplier has been in business many years and has a long-term defective rate for parts of only 5.7%
----------
What is the probability that a shipment will be rejected after a given sample of parts is checked?
----
P(a part is defective) = 0.057
P(a part is not defective = 1-0.057 = 0.943
===================================================
P(x >= 1 defect) = 1 - P(no defects)
---
= 1 - (0.943)^5
---
= 1 - 0.7457
---
= 0.2543
============
