You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The probability that any one of the 9 printers will not be defective is \"5%2F9\" .
\n" ); document.write( "If you pick one that is not defective, you will have 8 printers to choose a second printer from,
\n" ); document.write( "and 4 of those are defective, so your chance of picking a second good one is
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2F8=1%2F2\" .
\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying, you find that you would pick 2 good printers
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%2F9%29%281%2F2%29=5%2F18\" of the time.
\n" ); document.write( "Your probability of picking 2 good printers from that lot is
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%285%2F18%29\"=0.278 (rounded) or 27.8%.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
