A manufacturing company changes an acceptance scheme on items from a production line before they are shipped. An inspector takes 1 item at random from a box of 21 items, inspects it, and then replaces it in the box; a second inspector does likewise. Finally, a third inspector goes through the same procedure. If any of the three inspectors find a defective, the entire box is sent back for 100% screening. If no defectives are found, the box is shipped. (a) What is the probability that a box containing 3 defectives will be shipped? (b) What is the probability that a box containing only 1 defective will be sent back for screening? (a) The probability that a box containing 3 defectives will be shipped is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
