A thrift store owner claims that 65% of the clothes in stock are brand new and have never been worn. To verify this claim, a shopper inspects 75 articles of clothing in the store. Only 45 (60%) of these articles are brand new. If 65% of all articles in this thrift shop really are brand new, what is the probability of obtaining an SRS of 75 articles of clothing in which 60% or less are brand new

Answer: B- 0.18. Because the probability is not very small, it is plausible that the 65% claim of the owner is correct.
