The components of a 6-component system are to be randomly chosen from a bin of 25 used components. The resulting system will be functional if at least 3 of its 6 components are in working condition. If 15 of the 25 components in the bin are in working condition, what is the probability that the resulting system will be functional? Is there any approximate solution?
