<h2>Answer:</h2>
a)
The probability that both televisions work is: 0.42
b)
The probability at least one of the two televisions does not work is:
0.5833
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>There are a total of 9 televisions.
It is given that:
Three of the televisions are defective.
This means that the number of televisions which are non-defective are:
9-3=6
a)
The probability that both televisions work is calculated by:
( Since 6 televisions are in working conditions and out of these 6 2 are to be selected.
and the total outcome is the selection of 2 televisions from a total of 9 televisions)
Hence, we get:
b)
The probability at least one of the two televisions does not work:
Is equal to the probability that one does not work+probability both do not work.
Probability one does not work is calculated by:
and the probability both do not work is:
Hence, Probability that atleast does not work is:
0.5+0.0833=0.5833
