The required probability is 1/2500.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that in a shipment of toys from a manufacturer, where the probability that a toy is defective is 1/50.
We are to find the probability that both toys are defective, if Marie selects 2 toys from a shipment.
Since the events of selecting toys from a shipment are independent of each other,
therefore, the required probability that both toys are defective.
if Marie selects 2 toys from a shipment will be Thus, the required probability is:
P= (1/50)*(1/50) = 1/2500
