Math Problem Statement
When purchasing bulk orders of batteries, a toy manufacturer uses this acceptance sampling plan: Randomly select and test 56 batteries and determine whether each is within specifications. The entire shipment is accepted if at most 2 batteries do not meet specifications. A shipment contains 5000 batteries, and 11% of them do not meet specifications. What is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? Will almost all such shipments be accepted, or will many be rejected?
The probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is: (Round to four decimal places as needed.) The company will accept what % of the shipments and will reject what % of the shipments, so:

Formulas
Binomial Probability Formula: P(X = k) = (n choose k) * p^k * (1 - p)^(n - k)
Cumulative Binomial Probability: P(X ≤ 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)
