A box contains 10 bulbs,of which just three are defective. If a random sample of five bulbs is drawn, find the probability that the sample contains exactly one defective bulb.

Hi dr. ......Gud mrng. ....

EXPLANATION:
Total number of elementary events = 10C5

Number of ways of selecting exactly one defective bulb out of 3 and 4 non-defective out of 7 is 3C1*7C4

So,required probability =3C1*7C4/10C5 = 5/12.

HOPE THIS HELPS.....
