Binomial Problem with n = 17
(a) What is the probability that he will accept the shipment if 11% of the electronic games is defective?
P(defective) = 0.11
P(x = 0) = 0.79^17 = 0.0182
-----------------------------------
(b) What is the probability that he will accept the shipment if 7% of the electronic games is defective?
P(x = 0) = 0.93^17 = 0.2912
