Answer:

The probability that all 4 units are good is 10.66%.

Explanation:

Given that a shipement of 14 microwave ovens contains six defective units, and a vending company has ordered 4 of these units and selection will be random, to determine what is the probability that all 4 units are good the following calculation must be performed:

14 - 6 = 8

8/14 x 8/14 x 8/14 x 8/14 = X

0.5714 x 0.5714 x 0.5714 x 0.5714 = X

0.1066 = X

0.1066 x 100 = 10.66

Therefore, the probability that all 4 units are good is 10.66%.
