Question 1161819: Dell Computers receives large shipments of microprocessors from Intel Corp. It must try to
ensure the proportion of microprocessors that are defective is small. Suppose Dell decides to test
five microprocessors out of a shipment of thousands of these microprocessors. Suppose that
if at least one of the microprocessors is defective, the shipment is returned. If Intel
Corp’s shipment contains ten percent defective microprocessors, Calculate the probability of
entire shipment will be returned by using binomial distribution Answer by ikleyn(52855) (Show Source):
At given conditions, the probability that at least one of 5 microprocessors is defective is the complement
to the probability that of 5 microprocessors, all 5 are good
P = 1 - = = 0.40951. ANSWER
