Step 1
In Box A, there are 8 items in total and 3 are defective. So, the probability of drawing a non-defective item from Box A is 5/8. In Box B, there are 5 items in total and 2 are defective. So, the probability of drawing a non-defective item from Box B is 3/5. The Show more…

Box A contains 8 items of which 3 are defective, and box B contains 5 items of which 2 are defective. An item is drawn at random from each box. What is the probability that both items are non-defective? And what is the probability that one item is defective and one is not?

Container 1 has 8 items, 3 of which are defective. Container 2 has 5 items, 2 of which are defective. If one item is drawn from each container, what is the probability that only one of the items is defective?
Adi S.
A sample of 8 items has exactly 4 defective ones. Items are tested one by one, at random until all the defective ones are identified. The probability that exactly 4 tests are needed, is (a) $\frac{1}{35}$ (b) $\frac{2}{35}$ (c) $\frac{1}{70}$ (d) $\frac{1}{80}$
