At Least One Defective iPhone It has been reported that 20% of iPhones manufactured by Foxconn for a product launch did not meet Apple's quality standards. An engineer needs at least one defective iPhone so she can try to identify the problem (s). If she randomly selects 15 iPhones from a very large batch, what is the probability that she will get at least 1 that is defec - tive? Is that probability high enough so that she can be reasonably sure of getting a defect for her work?

    We can use the binomial theorem to find the probability that 0 out of the 15 samples will be defective, given that 20% are defective.

    P (0/15) = (15C0) (0.2) ^0 (1 - 0.2) ^15 = (1) (1) (0.8) ^15 = 0.0352

    Then the probability that at least 1 is defective is equal to 1 - 0.0352 = 0.9648. This means there is a 96.48% chance that at least 1 of the 15 samples will be found defective. This is probably sufficient, though it depends on her significance level. If the usual 95% is used, then this is enough.
