In the post by @MathLover1, the solutions, the numbers and the answers
to (b), (c) and (d) are incorrect.
I came to bring a correct solution.
(a) How many possible choices of 10 laptops can be made?
C(105,10) = 28848458598960.
(b) How many of these possible selections will not contain any defective laptops?
C((105-5),10) = C(100,10) = 17310309456440.
It is the number of all possible combinations of 10 laptops from 105-5 = 100 good laptops.
(c) How many of the possible selections will contain at least one defective laptop?
C(105,10) - C(100,10) = 28848458598960 - 17310309456440 = 11538149142520.
From the total number of all possible combinations of 10 laptops from 105 laptops,
we subtract the number of all possible combinations of 10 laptops from 105-5 = 100 good laptops.
(d) How many of the possible selections will contain exactly one defective laptop?
C(5,1)*C(100,9) = 5*1902231808400 = 9511159042000.
In this assignment, we combine 1 defective laptop from 5 defectives laptops
with 9 good laptops from 105-5 = 100 good laptops.
Solved (correctly).
