Answer:

a. 0.12109

b. 0.0001668

c .0.9726

d. 0.01038

e. 0.01211

f. 0.000001731

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size = 580

Defective units = 8

Number of picks = 2

a) If the first container is defective, there 7 defective containers left in a population of 579. The probability of selecting a defective one is:

P=\frac{7}{579}=0.121

b) The probability that both are defective is given by:

P=\frac{8}{580}*\frac{7}{579}= 0.000167

c) The probability that both are acceptable is given by:

P=\frac{580-8}{580}*\frac{579-8}{579}= 0.9726

d) In this case, two defective units were removed from the batch, the probability that the third is also defective is:

P=\frac{6}{578}}= 0.0104

e) In this case, one acceptable and one defective unit were removed from the batch, the probability that the third is also defective is:

P=\frac{7}{578}= 0.01211

f) The probability that all three are defective is given by:

P=\frac{8}{580}*\frac{7}{579}*\frac{6}{578} = 0.000001731
