Consider again the fuse quality control. The fuses are packed in boxes of 100 each, and 2 of them are defective. Suppose an inspector randomly selects 5 of the 100 fuses in a box for testing. What is the probability that the inspector will not find any defective fuse? What is the probability of finding one defective fuse?

Step 1
This can be calculated using combinations, denoted as C(n, k), where n is the total number of items and k is the number of items to choose. In this case, n = 100 and k = 5. Total number of ways to choose 5 fuses out of 100: $$C(100, 5) = Show more…

Suppose a fuse box containing 20 fuses of which 5 are defectives. If 2 fuses were selected in random and removed from the box in succession without replacing the first, what is the probability that both fuses are defective.

Suppose that 6 good fuses and two defective fuses have been mixed up. To find the fuses, all fuses must be tested one by one and at random without replacement. 1.) What is the probability that we find both of the defective fuses in the first two tests? 2.) We test the first fuse and see that it is defective. Since we know this, what is the probability that we find both of the defective fuses in the first two tests?
