In a shipment of 58 vials, only 13 do not have hairline cracks. If you randomly select 4 vials from the shipment, what is the probability that all 4 of the selected vials have hairline cracks?
Added by Angela S.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the total number of ways to choose 4 vials out of 58 vials: This can be calculated using the combination formula: C(n, r) = n! / (r! * (n-r)!) In this case, n = 58 and r = 4 So, 58 choose 4 = 58! / (4! * (58-4)!) = 58! / (4! * 54!) = 58 * 57 * 56 Show more…
