I love math too... but I'm not into stats at all. But if anyone has some really nice geometry or functional equation problems, lemme know and I'll tear them up!

Basically you want to look at z&sigma for which a one tailed test gives 20 percent outside. They key to this is a one tailed test. then &mu - z&sigma is the value above which 80% will fall. > d) What is the probability that 8 and 10 bottles are defectives? at the Prob for 8 and 10 only, P = 0.08158677208886 > e) What is the probability that there are exactly 8 defectives? 0.10602553736479 same as above, but only the n = 8 term counts > f) What is the probability that there are no defectives? 0.00592052922033 n = 0 term only

Shit, you beat me to it, looks like the problem is solved, maybe next time.
