Suppose you just received a shipment of thirteen televisions. Three of the televisions are defective. If two televisions are randomly​ selected, compute the probability that both televisions work. What is the probability at least one of the two televisions does not​ work?

Respuesta :

Answer:  0.4083

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D be the event of receiving a defective television.

Given : The probability that the television is defective :-

[tex]P(D)=\dfrac{3}{13}[/tex]

The formula for binomial distribution :-

[tex]P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

If two televisions are randomly​ selected, compute the probability that both televisions work, then  the probability at least one of the two televisions does not​ work is given by :_

[tex]P(X\geq1)=P(1)+P(2)\\\\=^2C_1(\frac{3}{13})^1(1-\frac{3}{13})^{2-1}+^2C_2(\frac{3}{13})^2(1-\frac{3}{13})^{2-2}\\\\=0.408284023669\approx0.4083[/tex]

Hence , the required probability = 0.4083
