Question 548870: A manufacturing process has 91% yield, which means 91% of the products are acceptable. If six of the products are randomly selected (with replacement), find the probability that all are acceptable.
Is this a combination problem where nCr is used?
Am I supposed to use a population parameter? (p = .91)

-----
P(6 of 6 are acceptable) = 0.91^6 = 0.5679
