#10 From a shipment of 65 transistors, 3 of which are defective, a sample of 4 transistors is selected at random.

(a)  In how many different ways can the sample be selected?
  
     In  =  = 788040 ways.



(b)  How many samples contain exactly 3 defective transistors?
  
     62 samples:  To the subset of 3 defective samples,  you can add ONE and ONLY ONE of the remaining 62 transistors.



(c)  How many samples do not contain any defective transistors?

      =  = 557845 samples.
