    Answer: 0.877

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The bag contains 15 basketballs

    7 have defective valves.

    8 are good

    choose 3 out of the bag randomly

    probability that at least 1 will have a defective valve = 1 - probability of none have a defect, so

    P of no defect: 8/15 * 7/14 * 6/13 = 0.123

    at least 1: 1 - 0.123 = 0.877
