The consumer group picks a random sample of 200 of the DVD players and finds the proportion of defectives in the sample to be 0.0220.022 . Assuming that the proportion of defectives for all the company's DVD players is p=0.01p = 0.01 , the probability of selecting a sample in which the proportion of defectives is 0.0220.022 or more is 0.0440.044 .
