Suppose that a computer chip company has just shipped 10,000
computer chips to a computer company.​ Unfortunately, 60
of the chips are defective.
​(a) Compute the probability that two randomly selected chips are defective using conditional probability.

(b) The probability that the first randomly selected chip is defective is 60/10,000=  0.006= 0.6 %
Compute the probability that two randomly selected chips are defective under the assumption of independent events.

​(a) The probability is __
​(Round to eight decimal places as​ needed.)​

(b) The probability is __
​(Round to eight decimal places as​ needed.)


When small samples are taken from large populations without​ replacement, the assumption of independence does not significantly affect the probability. Based on the​ results, what does this​ mean?
A.
The probabilities are nearly the same.


B.
The probabilities are exactly the same.


C.
The probabilities are very​ different, but the probability found assuming independent events is​ larger, so it does not matter.


D.
The probabilities are very​ different, but the probability found assuming independent events is​ smaller, so it does not matter.
