    Solution:

    Let A and B be two events defined by

      A = Getting exactly 3 defectives in the examination of 8 record players. 

    = 9th record player is defective.

     Required probability =P(AB)=P(A)P(B/A)          …(i)

    Now,

           P(A)= 4C3×11C5 15C8

    and,

         P(B/A)=Probability that the 9th examined record player is defective given that there were 3 defective in the first 8 pieces examined

     P(B/A)=17

      Required probability = 4C3×11C5 15C8×17
