Suppose you just received a shipment of seven televisions. Four 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: The probability that hat both televisions work= 0.1837

The probability at least one of the two televisions does not​ work=0.8163

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total televisions = 7

Defective televisions = 4

The proportion of defective sets :  [tex]p=\dfrac{4}{7}[/tex]

Number of televisions selected = 2

Using binomial probability formula :

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

The probability that hat both televisions work. :_

[tex]P(x=0)=^2C_0(\dfrac{4}{7})^{0}(1-\dfrac{4}{7})^{2}=(\dfrac{3}{7})^{2}=0.183673469388\approx0.1837[/tex]

The probability at least one of the two televisions does not​ work:-

[tex]P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)=1-0.1837=0.8163[/tex]
