Help! lol if you guys get a sec

In order to form an estimate of the quality of mass-produced articles, a customer adopts the following double sampling scheme. A random sample of 10 is inspected; if no defectives are found, he accepts the lot; if 4 or more defectives are found, he rejects the lot; but if 1,2 or 3 defectives are found, he takes a second sample of 10 and if the total of defectives in the two samples is 4 or more, he rejects the lot, but otherwise accepts the lot. Calculate the probability that the lot which is known to be 10 per cent defective is accepted.

arrgh! well, thats what happens when you try and paste maths type stuff heere. oh wel, sorry about that, but i did it by finding the probablity of getting zero, one two and three defectives and determing that:
P(accepted) = P(0) + P(1) x (P(0) + P(1) + P(2)) + P(2) x ((P(0) + P(1)) + P(3) x P(0)

(As all other combinations result in it not being accepted)

= 87.15% using a calculator
