Harley Davidson, director of quality control for the Kyoto Motor company, is conducting his monthly spot check of automatic transmissions. In this procedure, 10 transmissions are removed from the pool of components and are checked for manufacturing defects. Historically, only 2 percent of the transmissions have such flaws. (Assume that flaws occur independently in different transmissions.) What is the probability that of the selected transmissions has at the most two manufacturing flaws?

A manufacturer wishes to estimate the accuracy of its final visual inspection process. A random sample of 180 devices is selected from production. An item is defective or “bad” if it contains at least one visually noticeable cosmetic defect. The process improvement team agrees that the sample contains 27 bad items and 153 good items. The team gives the items to a “certified” operator for inspection. The operator rejects 10 good pieces and accepts 11 bad pieces and classifies the remainder correctly. What is the probability that the inspector will reject an item? P(inspector will reject an item) = ________%. Enter value using one decimal place.
