E:Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Arithmetic Statistics
It is clear that neither (1) alone nor (2) alone is sufficient.
Given (1) and (2), if the box contains 22 light bulbs, then a sample of 20 light bulbs must contain at least one defective light bulb, and hence the desired probability is equal to 1. However, if the box contains 22,000 light bulbs, then it is clear that the probability that a sample of 20 light bulbs contains at least one defective light bulb is less than 1.
The correct answer is E;both statements together are still not sufficient.
