Consider the following problem:

A random sample of 40 batches, each containing 5 vouchers is taken from a
very large population of batches of vouchers and tested to see if the
vouchers contain an error.

# of Errors   # of batches containing that number of errors
0                                 37

1                                 1
4                                 1
5                                 1

  What is the upper bound on the population error rate one sided at 95%
confidence? Does anyone know how to calculate this bound exactly? If you
don't know of an exact solution does anyone know of a better approximation
than normal-distribution based survey sampling methods provide?

Thanks - John
