Suppose a major customer will accept no more than 0.06 of the fries having dark ends. Recently, the customer called the Simplot Company saying that a recent random sample of 300 fries was tested from a shipment and 27 fries had dark ends. Assuming that the population does meet the 0.06 standard, what is the probability of getting a sample of 300 with 27 or more dark ends?
