Really need help please guys!! A box of 12 rechargeable batteries contains one that is defective. In how many ways can an inspector choose 3 of the batteries and (i) the one that is defective (ii) not get the one that is defective? Thanks
What do you mean by "In how many ways" ? In what format would you like the answer? A fraction ?
As in literally just stating how many ways e.g 22 ways. Not a fraction or decimal or anything like that.
The first part I got as 220 ways using n!/r!(n-r)! and putting in the numbers but not sure if that's correct or not
Sorry, im not too sure.
No worries it's a toughie
