Answer:

\frac{C^{3}_1* C^{47}_4}{C^{40}_5}

Explanation:

It is given that out of 40, total 5 specimen are selected.

Thus, the number of ways in which 5 specimens are selected from a given sample of 40 is given by

C^{40}_{5}\\

Number of specimen with certain trait is equal to 3.

Now, total 5 specimen are selected out of which one specimen is selected from the set of specimen that has certain trait (i.e out of 3) while the remaining four specimen will be selected from the rest 40-3=37 specimen.

Thus, the probability of choosing only 1 of the 5 specimens with the trait is equal to

\frac{C^{3}_1* C^{37}_4}{C^{40}_5}

The best approach for Tyler is a controlled experiment if he wants to directly observe the outcome. 

A controlled experiment is designed to minimize the effects of the variables other than the independent variable. A controlled experiment allows reliable results because he can do the experiment specific to the problem and variables involved.
