Answer:

0.3667 or 36.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting at least 1 defective hard disk among the 5 (P(X>0)) is equal to 100% minus the probability of getting none defectives (1-P(X=0)).

If 23 out of 25 hard disks are non-defective, the probability is:

[tex]P(X>0) = 1 -P(X=0)\\P(X>0) = 1 -\frac{23}{25}*\frac{22}{24} *\frac{21}{23} *\frac{20}{22} *\frac{19}{21}\\ P(X>0) = 0.3667=36.67\%[/tex]

The probability that there is at least 1 defective hard disk is 0.3667 or 36.67%.
