1. A batch of 500 containers for frozen orange juice contains five that are defective. Two are selected at random without replacement from the batch.
a) What is the probability that the second one selected is defective given that the first one is defective?

Given:
N=500 - the number of containers of orange juice in the batch
n=5 - the number of defective containers of orange juice in the batch
Consider events:
A - first container drawn at random from the batch is defective
B - second container drawn at random from the batch is defective
The drawing is done without replacement of the container drawn first.
Since the drawing is at random
a)
This is the probability that one of the 4 defective containers is selected from the 499 remaining after the first defective one is drawn:
b)
The answer in (b) used the assumption of random choosing of the second chip.
However, by definition:
Using (1) we calculate
Multiplying (2) by P(A) and then substituting result of (a):
The probability that both containers are defective is the probability that the first is the defective multiplied by the probability that the second one is defective given that the first was.
