The Hawkins Company Randomly Samples 10 Items from Every Large

question 31

True/False

The Hawkins Company randomly samples 10 items from every large batch before the batch is packaged and shipped. According to the contract specifications, 5 percent of the items shipped can be defective. If the inspectors find 1 or fewer defects in the sample of 10, they ship the batch without further inspection. If they find 2 or more, the entire batch is inspected. Based on this sampling plan, the probability that a batch that contains twice the amount of defects allowed by the contract requirements will be shipped without further inspection is approximately .3874.
