1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data



Suppose that three computer boards in a production run of forty are defective. A sample of five is to be selected to be checked for defects.

a. How many different samples can be chosen?

b. How many samples will contain at least one defective board?

c. What is the probability that a randomly chosen sample of five contains at least one defective board?











3. The attempt at a solution



A) ##\binom{40}{5} = \frac{40!}{5!(35!)} = 658\;008##



B) ##\binom{5}{1}+\binom{5}{2}+\binom{5}{3} = 25##



C) ##P(E) = \frac{N(E)}{N(S)} = \frac{25}{658\;008}##
