Question 1104298: A company purchases shipments of machine components and uses this acceptance sampling plan: Randomly select and test 23 components and accept the whole batch if there are fewer than 3 defectives. If a particular shipment of thousands of components actuall has a 8% rate of defects, What is the probability of fewer than 3 defectives

Binomial Problem with n = 23 and p = 0.08
----
P(0<= x <=2) = binomcdf(23,0.08,2) = 0.7220
