p(r)=0.92
p(a)=1-0.92
= 0.08
probability of 5 rejection items =0.92*0.92*0.92*0.92*0.92+0.08*0.08*0.08*0.08*0.08
= 0.65

probability of rejecting one item = 0.92
probability of rejecting five item = (0.92)^5
probability of one accurate item = 1- 0.92= 0.08
probability of 5 accurate item = (0.08)^5

Assuming every item is independent to each other, then the probability of the five of them being rejected is (0.92)*(0.92)*(0.92)*(0.92)*(0.92) = (0.92)^5 = 0.659.

Since the probability of rejection is 0.92, the probability of acceptance/accuracy is 1–0.92 = 0.08. (Because it’s the opposite event), so the probability of getting all five of them accurate is (0.08)^5 = 0.000328
