Answer: 0.627 or 62.7 %
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that shipment will be rejected P(rejected) = 1- probability that shipment will be accepted.
P(rejected)= 1-P(accepted)
P(accepted) is equal to probability when all 10 watches are not defective.
The probability that 1st one randomly selected watches are not defective is 51/60 (51 watches are not defective and 9 are defective)
The probability that 2-nd one randomly selected watches are not defective is 50/59 ( because the total number of the watches now is 1 unit less 60-1=59, and the total number of not defective watches is 1 unit less 51-1=50 units)
The probability that 3rd one randomly selected watches are not defective is 49/58 (49 watches are not defective total number of watches is 58)
Similarly P(4th)= 48/57 P(5th)=47/56 P(6th)=46/55 P(7th)=45/54
P(8th)=44/53 P(9th)=43/52 P(10th)=42/51
So P(accepted)= P(1st)*P(2nd)*P(3rd)*P(4th)*P(5th)*P(6th)*P(7th)*P(8th)*P(9th)*P(10th)=
=51*50*49*48*47*46*45*44*43*42/(60*59*58*57*56*55*54*53*52*51)=
= approx= 0.373
So P(rejected)=1-0.373=0.627
