A shipment of 10 items has two defective and eight nondefective items. In the inspection of the shipment, a sample of items will be selected and tested. If a defective item is found, the shipment of 10 items will be rejected. (a) If a sample of three items is selected, what is the probability that the shipment will be rejected? (b) If a sample of four items is selected, what is the probability that the shipment will be rejected? (c) If a sample of five items is selected, what is the probability that the shipment will be rejected? ke a 0.90 probability of rejecting a shipment with two defective and eight nondefective items, how large a sample would you recom- mend?
