The Good Food Chain Has a Contract to Receive Eggs

question 127

Essay

The Good Food chain has a contract to receive eggs from a large egg producer. The eggs come in lots of 4,000 dozen each week. The contract specifies that the rate of broken or defective eggs should not exceed 8 percent. Each time a load comes in, Good Food warehouse employees select a random sample of n = 100 eggs and check to see if they are broken or defective. If Good Food wants no more than a 0.05 chance of rejecting the shipment, what should the cut-off be in terms of proportion of broken or defective eggs so that if the proportion is that value or more, the shipment will be rejected?
