Question 505240: A quality control inspector samples 5 computer chips from a box containing 11 computer chips. If the box contains 2 defective chips, in how many ways can he select a sample so that both defective chips are selected?
I've tried FCP 3*2*1*2*1
I've tried: 11nCr5-11nCr2
Ive tried: 11nCr5 - 2nCr1 - 2nCr0 * 9nCr5
