A package contains 12 resistors, 3 of which are defective. If 4 are selected, find the probability of getting

Incomplete question, but I gave a primer on the hypergeometric distribution, which is used to solve this question, so just the formula has to be applied to find the desired probabilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The resistors are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

In this question:

12 resistors, which means that

3 defective, which means that

4 are selected, which means that

To find an specific probability, that is, of x defectives:
