Answer:

Imagine picking the phones one at a time. As you mentioned, the probability the first phone picked is OK is 6/10. Given that this happened, the probability the second phone is OK is 5/9, since there are only 5 good phones left.

Thus our probability is 6/10⋅5/9. This product can be simplified.

♥How many ways are there to choose 2 telephones to test out of the 10 telephones in the sample?

♥How many ways are there to choose 2 non-defective telephones out of the 6 non-defective telephones in the sample?

The answers to both of the above can be computed using binomial coefficients. Now, divide the answer to question 2 by the answer to question 1 to get the probability of picking 2 non-defective telephones...✅
