Question

 a pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 13 tablets, then accept the whole batch is there is only one or none that doesnt meet the required specifications. If a particular shipment of thousands of aspirin tablets has a 6% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted?

Answer 1

The probability that a single tablet being defective is p=.06. You want the probability of zero or only one bad tablet. You can use a binomial distribution with p=.06 and n=13.
