question 37

Essay

In one method of a procedure called acceptance sampling, a sample of items is randomly selected without replacement and the entire batch is accepted if every item in the sample is
ok. Among 810 airport baggage scales, 102 are defective (based on data from the NY
Department of Consumer Affairs). If four of the scales are randomly selected and tested,
what is the probability that the entire bath will be accepted? Is this scheme likely to detect
the large number of defects?
