Amanufacturing company uses an acceptance scheme on items from a production line before they are shipped. the plan is a two-stage one. boxes of 25 items are readied for shipment, and a sample of 3 items is tested for defectives. if any defectives are found, the entire box is sent back for 100% screening. if no defec- tives are found, the box is shipped. (a) what is the probability that a box containing 3 defectives will be shipped? (b) what is the probability that a box containing only 1 defective will be sent back for screening?

The probability that a box containing 3 defectives will be shipped is 0.6696.

The probability that a box containing only 1 defective will be sent back for screening is 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Boxes of 25 items are readied for shipment, and a sample of 3 items is tested for defectives.

Part (A) What is the probability that a box containing 3 defectives will be shipped?

Let x represents the number of defective item among the 3 item.

According to hyper geometric distribution:

Where n is randomly selected without replacement from a population of N items.  k items can be classified as successes, and N - k items can be classified as failures.

Therefore, N = 25, n = 3 and k=3 in above formula.

The probability that box deliver 3 defective item.

P(No defective item among selected 3)=P(x=0)

Therefore, the probability that a box containing 3 defectives will be shipped is 0.6696.

Part (B) What is the probability that a box containing only 1 defective will be sent back for screening?

Substitute, N = 25, n = 3 and k=1 in above formula.

The probability that a box containing only 1 defective will be sent back for screening

Hence, the probability that a box containing only 1 defective will be sent back for screening is 0.12

the answer is 489
