Suppose that the manufacturing company uses an acceptance scheme on production items before they are shipped. Under the scheme an inspector takes one at random, inspects it, and then replaces it in the box; a second inspector does likewise. Finally, a third inspector goes through the same procedure. The box is not shipped if any of the three find a defective one. What is the probability that a box containing 3 defectives will be shipped?
