Problem 3: A shipment contains 40 items. Five items will be sampled at random and tested. If at least one is defective, the shipment will be returned. If the shipment contains five defective items, what is the probability that no defective items are tested? If the shipment contains five defective items, what is the probability that the shipment will be returned? If the shipment contains ten defective items, what is the probability that it will be returned?

In the field of quality control, the science of statistics is often used to determine if a process is "out of control." Suppose the process is, indeed, out of control and 25% of items produced are defective. (a) If four items arrive off the process line in succession, what is the probability that all four are defective? (b) If five items arrive in succession, what is the probability that four are defective?
