Algebra.Com's Answer #810403 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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 \n" ); document.write( " |
