The probability that the first iPod you select is not defective is 16/20. If you selected a non-defective iPod the first time, there are now 15 non-defective iPods out of 19 remaining. So, the odds that the second you selected is non-defective is 15/19. By similar reasoning, the probability that the third is non-defective (given that the first two weren't defective) is 14/18, and for the fourth iPod, it is 13/17. So the probability that none of the four iPods you selected are defective is:

(16/20)*(15/19)*(14/18)*(13/17)=364/969, or approximately 37.6%
