Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

A flash light has 8 batteries out of which 3 are dead. If two batteries are selected without replacement and tested, the probability that both are dead is


Total Number of Batteries = 8


Total Number of Dead Batteries = 3


Now Let,


M = Event of selecting the first dead battery



N= Event of selecting the second dead battery


(Without replacement)


P(Both dead batteries are selected) = P(M) P(N)
