A really bad carton of 7 eggs contains 5 spoiled eggs. An unsuspecting chef picks
3 eggs at random for his "Mega-Omelet Surprise." Find the probability that the
number of spoiled eggs among the 3 selected is 2. (Suppose that a sample is
drawn without replacement.)

Respuesta :

The probability that the number of spoiled eggs among the 3 selected is 2 will be 0.57.

What is probability?

The probability of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.

A really bad carton of 7 eggs contains 5 spoiled eggs. An unsuspecting chef picks 3 eggs at random for his "Mega-Omelet Surprise".

Then the probability that the number of spoiled eggs among the 3 selected is 2 will be

The total number of the event will be

Total = ⁷C₃

Total = 35

Then the probability will be

P = (⁵C₂ x ²C₁) / 35

P = 10 x 2 / 35

P = 20 / 35

P = 0.57
