Among 9800 cases of heart pacemaker malfunctions, 577 were found to be caused by firmware, which is software programmed into the device. If the firmware is tested in 33 different pacemakers randomly selected from this batch of 9800 and the entire batch is accepted if there are no failures, what is the probability that the firmware in the entire batch will be accepted? Is this procedure likely to result in the entire batch being accepted?
