Question

A shipment of precision parts arrived at an assembly plant. The quality control department selects 10 parts at random and rejects the shipment if 1 or more parts are found to be defective. The probability that the shipment will be rejected is .08. Find the probability that it will be accepted.

Answer 1

0.92

Explanation:

There are only two possibilities: the shipment will be rejected and the shipment will be accepted.

These two events are mutually exclusive (cannot occur at the same time).

The probability that the shipment will be rejected is 0.08.

Then the probability that it will be accepted is

`1-0.08=0.92`
