A batch of 100 manufactured components is checked by an inspector who examines 10 components selected at random. If none of the 10 components is defective, the inspector accepts the whole batch. Otherwise, the batch is subjected to further inspection. What is the probability that a batch containing 10 defective components will be accepted?
