QUESTION:

Four bricks are sampled from a large load and the crushing strength of each is measured to determine whether it meets a specification. If any of the four fail to meet the specification, the load will be returned. If in fact 10% of the bricks in the load fail to meet the specification, what is the probability that the load will be returned?

QUESTION:

Four bricks are sampled from a large load and the crushing strength of each is measured to determine whether it meets a specification. If any of the four fail to meet the specification, the load will be returned. If in fact 10% of the bricks in the load fail to meet the specification, what is the probability that the load will be returned?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2:

It is given that 4 bricks are sampled from a large load and their crushing strength is measured to check whether they meets the specification limits.

Also,it is given that if any one of the four bricks selected fail to meet the specification limit,then the load will be returned.

10% of the bricks in the lot fail to meet the specification.

We have to find the probability that the load will be returned.
