Homework Statement
In a shipment of 100 televisions, 6 are defective. If a person buys two televisions from that shipment, what is the probability that both are defective?
Homework Equations
the Answer is somewhat weird! it says it is 1/330 ! which is really beyond by recognition
The Attempt at a Solution
What I think is that it is 5/99!
The first defective TV would have probability of 6/100 ... but the second defective TV would have probability as 5/99 BECAUSE one is reduced from the defective TV Set and one is also reduced from the sample size.
What do you think?
