c. Two chips are defective?

Definition Definition For any random event or experiment, the set that is formed with all the possible outcomes is called a sample space. When any random event takes place that has multiple outcomes, the possible outcomes are grouped together in a set. The sample space can be anything, from a set of vectors to real numbers.
