Find the probability none is defective
\n" ); document.write( "There are 39C4 ways to take the sample
\n" ); document.write( "For no defective ones, there are 26C4 possibilities
\n" ); document.write( "so the answer is 1-26C4/39C4
\n" ); document.write( "1-0.1818=0.8182\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "can check
\n" ); document.write( "prob of 1 is 13C1*26C3/39C4
\n" ); document.write( "=0.4109
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "for 2 it is 13C2*26C2/39C4
\n" ); document.write( "=0.3082
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "for 3 it is 13C3*26C1/39C4
\n" ); document.write( "=0.0904
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "for 4 it is 13C4/39C4
\n" ); document.write( "=0.0087
