Please help A carton contains 12 light bulbs of which 3 are defective. If a random sample of 4 light bulbs is chosen without replacement, what is the probability distribution of defective light bulbs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know what you have to do here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you pick 4 light bulbs none could be defective one could be defective two could be defective three could be defective you have to compute each of those probabilities

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean by compute?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the probability that no light bulbs are defective for example

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to do it for all the possibilities

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 0/4, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i kind of doubt it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do you do to find the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as a matter of fact i am sure it is wrong what i the probability that out of the 4 light bulbs none are defective?
