Figure the probability that none of the inspectors find a defective widget and 1 minus that probability is the probability at least one of them did. Since each is replacing the widget in the box after inspecting it (whether it was defective or not), each has a 13/19 or roughly 0.684 chance that they choose an acceptable widget. So the chance all 3 choose an acceptable widget would be that chance cubed or roughly 0.32. So, the chance at least one found a defective widget would be roughly 0.68.
