    Probabilty of first component drawn defective = 0.1161

    Probability of second component drawn defective = 0.1560

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total component = 9

    Defective component = 3

    Non-defective component = 6

    Probability of defective = 3/9

    = 0.3333

    Probabilty of non defective = 1-0.3333

    = 0.6666

    Probabilty of first component drawn is defective

    = 9C1 (0.333) ¹ (0.6666) ^8

    = 9 (0.3333) (0.0387)

    = 0.1161

    Probabilty of second component is defective

    = 8C1 (0.3333) ¹ (0.6666) ^7

    = 8 (0.3333) (0.0585)

    = 0.1560
