Algebra.Com's Answer #734510 by Boreal(15235) You can put this solution on YOUR website! 13 are not defective, so it would be 13/18*12/17, after one non-defective is removed. Product is 0.5098 \n" ); document.write( "1 defective is \n" ); document.write( "*first one 5/18*13/17 \n" ); document.write( "*second one 13/18*5/17; those two products are the same, so multiply by 2, the number of ways, and it is 0.4276. \n" ); document.write( "======= \n" ); document.write( "both defective is 5/18*4/17=20/304, or 0.0658. Those three add to 1.0032, which is 1 with rounding error. \n" ); document.write( " |
