A sample of 4 different calculators is randomly selected from a group containing 12 that are defective and 33 that have no defects. What is the probability that at least one of the calculators is defective?

Respuesta :

The probability that at least one of the calculators is defective is : 0.725

What is probability?

Probability is the likelihood of an event happening or not.

if there is certainty that the event would happen probability is 1.

Analysis:

probability = required outcome/possible outcome

for 33 good calculators and 12 defective calculators, total calculators = 45

4 calculators were chosen, possible outcome = 45C4 = 148995

Required outcome = 33C3 . 12C1 + 33C2 . 12C2 + 33C1 . 12C3 + 33C0 . 12C4

= 65472 + 34848 + 7260 + 495 = 108075

Probability = 108075/148995 = 0.725
