Suppose a telelvision company has 100 TVs in its stock with 8 defective ones. The company wants to sell these 100 TVs to a retail store. If an employee of the retail store tests 5 randomly selected TVs and all them work normally, then he will sign the contract to buy the 100 TVs. Find the probability that TVs contain 4 good and 1 defective
