You are trying to determine if you should accept a shipment of balloons for a local party store. About 4% of all balloons which are shipped are defective (they have a hole and cannot be blown up). You are instructed to accept the shipment if no more than 15 balloons out of the 300 you inspect are defective. What is the probability that you accept the shipment

1

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that you accept the shipment is one since the fraction of balloons, defective is 0.04 which is less than 15/300(the max . fraction for acceptance of shipment.

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
