there are 35 machine parts and 8 are defective. what is the probability that you randomly select 5 parts that one will be defective?
---------
# of ways to pick one defective 8C1
# of ways to pick 4 not defective 27C4
# of ways to pick 5 of any kind 35C5
----------------------
Prob(1 of 5 are defective)= 8C1*27C4/35C5=0.4324890...
