You can put this solution on YOUR website! A box contains 10 light bulbs, two of which are defective. Three bulbs are selected from the box. What is the probability that at least one bulb is good?
-------
P(>= 1 good) = 1 - P(none good)
---
P(no good when drawing three would be 2C3/10C3
Then prob of at least one defective would be
1 - 2C3/10C3
But 2C3 doesn't exist or is zero
So P(at least one defective) would be 1-0 = 1
Or 100%.
