"Crates of eggs are inspected for blood clots by randomly removing 3 eggs in succession
and examining their contents. If all 3 eggs are good, the crate is shipped; otherwise it is
rejected. What is the probability that a crate will be shipped if it contains 120 eggs, of
which 10 have blood clots?"

I'm not sure how to do this problem.

I guessed:

=[(1-(11/12))^3 ]*[118] = 0.068287

Thanks for the help?
