2. A shipment of five computers contains two that are slightly defective. If a retailer receives three of
these computers at random, list the elements of the sample space S using the letters D and N for
defective and non-defective computers, respectively. To each sample point, assign a value x of the
random variable X representing the number of computers purchased by the retailer which are slightly
defective.
