Question 485447: Three ball bearings are drawn at random from a lot of 500 ball bearings , 10 of which are defective. Find the probability that the ball bearings drawn will be nondefective in drawing (a) with replacement, (b) without replacement.

Probability that all will be nondefective is
P(1st is nondefective)×P(2nd is nondefective)×P(3rd is nondefective)
(a) with replacement. The probabilities do not change:
P(1st is nondefective)×P(2nd is nondefective)×P(3rd is nondefective) =


-----
(b) without replacement. The probabilities do change:
P(1st is nondefective)×P(2nd is nondefective)×P(3rd is nondefective) =

So there is very little difference between the probabilies.
