in a shipment of 2500 vidoe games, 97 are defective. if a person buys two games, what is the probability that both are defective?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

prob that the first one is defective is 97/2500 and if we draw another vg then the prob will be 96/2500 so just multiply both the probabs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divu is wrong, it's (97/2500)*(96/2499) After the first defective game is received you won't receive the same one

So it would be .001?
