Suppose that a large shipment of components contains 5% defectives. The following two acceptance rules are being considered for determining whether to take delivery of a shipment of components. Rule 1: A random sample of 3 components is checked, and the shipment is accepted only if none of them is defective. Rule 2: A random sample of 10 components is checked, and the shipment is accepted only if no more than 1 of them is defective. Which of these acceptance rules has the smaller probability of accepting a shipment? a. Rule 2 has the smaller acceptance probability than rule 1. b. The two rules have the same acceptance probability. c. The information is not enough to compare them. d. Rule 1 has the smaller acceptance probability than rule 2.
