Question
Each of 12 refrigerators of a certain type has been returned to a distributor because of an audible, high-pitched, oscillating noise when the refrigerators are running. Suppose
that 8 of these refrigerators have a defective compressor and the other 4 have less serious problems. If the refrigerators are examined in random order, let X be the number
among the first 6 examined that have a defective compressor.
