Suppose that two of a local breeder's eleven newborn poodles have a genetic birth defect that will only appear later in life. Due to the high expense of the testing, thebreeder randomly chooses only five puppies to test for genetic birth defects. What is the probability that one of the puppies will test positive for a genetic birth defect?Step 2 of 2: Compute the probability. Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.

Solution 1:In this solution, we assume that puppies are tested with replacement, which means a puppy…

Answered: Suppose that two of a local breeder's…
