a shipment of 230 smartphones contains 84 that are defective . if a customer buys two smartphones at random from the shipment , what is the approximate probability that both phones are defective ?
"probability of chosing one defective phone from a lot of 230 which ontains 84 defective phones is = ( 84 / 230 ) probability of chosing one defective phone from a lot of 229 ( we already picked one ) which ontains 83 ( we already picked one ) defective phones is = ( 83 / 229 ) combined probability of series of events = product of the probabilities = ( 84 / 230 ) * ( 83 / 229 ) 84 / 230 is close to ( 23 / 63 ) and ( 83 / 229 ) = ( 29 / 80 ) so answer is ( 23 / 63 ) * ( 29 / 80 ) = ( 9 / 68 ) so , answer will be d"
divide(multiply(84, subtract(84, const_1)), multiply(230, subtract(230, const_1)))
