Question

A batch of 27 injection-molded parts contains 6 that have suffered excessive shrinkage. Round your answers to four decimal places (eg. 0.9876). (a) If two parts are selected at random, and without replacement, what is the probability that the second part is one with excessive shrinkage? (b) If three parts are selected at random, and without replacement, what is the probability that the third part is one with excessive shrinkage?

Step 1

The probability of selecting a part with shrinkage on the first draw is 6 out of 27, since there are 6 parts with shrinkage out of a total of 27 parts. So, the probability of selecting a part with shrinkage on the first draw is 6/27. Show more…

Please solve a and b. A batch of 27 injection-molded parts contains 6 that have shrinkage. a) Round your answers to four decimal places (e.g. 0.9876). If two parts are selected at random and without replacement, what is the probability that the second part selected has shrinkage? b) If three parts are selected at random and without replacement, what is the probability that all three parts have shrinkage?
