A sample of 4 different calculators is randomly selected from a group containing 19 that are defective and 36 that have no defects. What is the probability that at least one of the four calculators is defective?
----
P(at least one defective) = 1 - P(no defectives)
----
# of ways to get 4 non-defective:: 36C4
# of random sets of 4:: 55C4
P(>=1) = 1 - (36C4)/(55C4) = 1 - 0.0169 = 0.9831
