    1.242% probability that the second one selected is defective given that the first one was defective

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

    We have

    484 containers

    7 are defective

    a) What is the probability that the second one selected is defective given that the first one was defective?

    After the first one was selected (defective), we have

    483 containers

    6 defective

    6/483 = 0.01242

    0.01242 = 1.242% probability that the second one selected is defective given that the first one was defective
