Probability with Applications in Engineering, Science, and Technology
A box in a certain supply room contains four $40-\mathrm{W}$ lightbulbs, five $60-\mathrm{W}$ bulbs, and six $75-\mathrm{W}$ bulbs. Suppose that three bulbs are randomly selected.
(a) What is the probability that exactly two of the selected bulbs are rated 75 W?
(b) What is the probability that all three of the selected bulbs have the same rating?
(c) What is the probability that one bulb of each type is selected?
(d) Suppose now that bulbs are to be selected one by one until a $75-\mathrm{W}$ bulb is found. What is the probability that it is necessary to examine at least six bulbs?
