All are cracked
one way is 4/18*3/17*2/16*1/15*1*1*1*1=0.0003,
But, the numerator may be ordered in different ways, 8C4, which is 70. The product is 0.0270
None cracked is way of choosing 8 from 14, or 3003. The probability is 3003/43758=0.0686
Two of the cracked eggs are selected, 4C2*14C6/18C8, the numerator the ways to choose 2 from 4 cracked and 6 from 14.
This is 0.4118.
