Suppose a shipment of 160 electronic components contains 3 defective components. to determine whether the shipment should be ac
cepted, a quality-control engineer randomly selects 3 of the components and tests them. if 1 or more of the components is defective, the shipment is rejected. what is the probability that the shipment is rejected
0.00067% chance it will be rejected. The probability of each event occurring multiplied together will give us the total probability of one item being defective found in the 3. 1st 3/160 2nd 3/159 3rd 3/158
Multiply 56 / 1 and 4 / 5. This will result in 224 / 5. You can divide it to result in 44.8, or keep it the fraction because it cannot be simplified any further.
