You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Suppose you just received a shipment of 13 televisions, 3 of the televisions are defective. If 2 televisions are randomly selected,
----
P(defective) = 3/13 ; P(not defective) = 10/13
----------------------------
Compute the probability that both televisions work
Ans: 10C2/13C2 = 0.5769
---------------------------------
What is the probability at lease one does not work?
Ans: P(both not work) = 1-P(both work) = 1-0.5769 = 0.4231
---------------------------------
