Components of a certain type are shipped to a supplier in batches of 40. Suppose that 50% of all such batches contain one defective component, 30% contain two defective components, and 20% contain three defective components. If you select 3 components at random (and without replacement) from a batch, find the probability that you will get exactly 1 defective component.
