A manufacturing company uses an acceptance plan on production items prior to shipment to the buyer. The plan consists of two stages: A box of 20 items is prepared for shipment from which a sample of 4 items is taken and these units are tested for defects. If any are found to be defective, the entire box is sent back for a 100% check. If no defectives are found, the box is sent to the buyer. a) What is the probability that a box containing 4 defectives is sent to the buyer? b) What is the probability that a box containing only 1 defective is returned for a full check?

Suppose a shipment of 120 electronic components contains 4 defective components. To determine whether the shipment should be accepted, a quality-control engineer randomly selects 4 of the components and tests them. If 1 or more of the components is defective, the shipment is rejected. What is the probability the shipment is rejected?
