Amanufacturer of computer printers purchases plastic ink cartridges from a vender. When a large shipment is received, a random sample of 235 cartridges is selected, and each cartridge is inspected. If the sample proportion of defective cartridges is more than 0.02, the entire shipment is returned to the vendor.
