Question 1060894: An IRS auditor randomly selects 3 tax returns from 57 returns of which 8 contain errors. What is the probability that she selects none of those containing errors? Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are returns with no errors.
There are possible sets of 3 returns that the auditor could pick.
Of those are sets of 3 returns with no errors.

as a fraction of the number of possible sets of 3 returns available for auditing is ,
so the probability that the auditor selects none of the return containing errors is about .
