A shipment of 15 portable television sets is received by a retailer. To protect herself against a bad shipment, she will inspect 4 sets and accept the entire lot if she observes no more than 1 defective. Suppose that there are actually 6 defective sets in the shipment. What is the probability that she accepts the entire shipment? What is the type of discrete probability distribution (binomial, hypergeometric, or Poisson) that describes this problem? Explain.
