Question

A customer from Cavallaro's Fruit Stand picks a sample of 3 oranges at random from a crate containing 60 oranges, of which 4 are rotten. What is the probability that the sample contains 1 or more rotten oranges? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer 1

So if it has at least a rotten egg in those 5, we can easily find the probability of getting all fresh eggs

P(1st egg fresh) * P(2nd) * P(3rd) * P(4th)
= (60/65) * (59/64) * (58/63) * (57/62)
= (60*59*58*57) / (65*64*63*62)
= 0.72024548

1 - 0.72024548 = 0.27975452 = approx. 0.280

The probability of getting at least rotten in 4 oranges is 0.28 or 28%

Answer 2

I got this answer too when I tried it myself, but it comes up incorrect in Webassign. I put 0.280 @jrc5101520
