document.write( "Question 1135583: Suppose a shipment of 140 electronic components contains 3 defective components. To determine whether the shipment should be accepted, a quality-control engineer randomly selects 3 of the components and tests them. If 1 or more of the components is defective, the shipment is rejected. What is the probability that the shipment is rejected? can you help me solve this with statcrunch \n" ); document.write( "
