Question 1160596: A package contains 10 resistors, 2 of which are defective. If 3 are selected, find the probability of getting 1 defective resistor. Found 2 solutions by Boreal, Alan3354:Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 3 ways to get 1 defective resistor, picked first, second, or third
8/10*7/9*2/8=112/720 and 3 ways so 336/720=0.46667
also (2C1)*8C2/10C3=0.46667
