Step 1
Out of 10 units of microwave there are 7 good units and 3 defective units.
(a)The number ways of receiving all 4 units perchased by the vending company to be good ones are 7 C 4 = 7 ! 3 ! × 4 ! = 35
Step 2
(b)The number ways of receiving 2 good units out of 4 units perchased by the vending company are 7 C 2 × 3 C 2 = 7 ! 2 ! × 5 ! × 3 ! 2 ! × 1 ! = 63 .
Step 3
(c)The number ways of receiving at least 2 good units out of 4 units perchased by the vending company are 7 C 2 × 3 C 2 + 7 C 3 × 3 C 1 + 7 C 4 .
= 7 ! 2 ! × 5 ! × 3 ! 2 ! × 1 ! + 7 ! 4 ! × 3 ! × 3 ! 2 ! × 1 ! + 7 ! 3 ! × 4 !
= 63 + 105 + 35 = 203
