Answer:
Probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is 0.7324.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a company purchases shipments of machine components and uses this acceptance sampling plan: Randomly select and test 30 components and accept the whole batch if there are fewer than 3 defectives.
The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;
where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 30 components
r = number of success = fewer than 3
p = probability of success which in our question is % rate
of defects, i.e; 6%
<em>LET X = Number of defective components</em>
So, it means X ~
Now, Probability that this whole shipment will be accepted only when there are fewer than 3 defectives = P(X < 3)
P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)
=
=
= 0.7324
Therefore, probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is 0.7324.
