A lot of

   

watches is known to have

   

defective watches. If 8 watches are selected (one by one with replacement) at random, what is the probability that there will be at least one defective watch?

Given: Total number of watches =

   

and number of defective watches =

   

So, the probability of selecting a detective watch =

   

Now,

n =

   

,

   

and

   

   

Therefore, the required probability is

   

.
