You keep them if you test 3 and all pass.

There are 18 good ones and 6 bad (making 24)

Chance of first passing is 18/24

If it passes, there are now one less good and one less total.

Chance of second passing is 17/23

If it passes, there are now one less good and one less total.

Chance of second passing is 16/22

Total is (16 x 17 x 18) / (22 x 23 x 24) = about 0.4 (0.403162055 is you really want to know).

So probability all are ok is 0.4

Thus probability you find at least one bad one is 0.6

How typewriters began to phase out?

Electric typewriters began to become a regular thing in the 1970's, and, believe it or not, some people used them all the way until the 1990s when computers became a regular device (though most offices had computers installed in the 1980s). The final typewriters were much more advanced than you might think-- some electric typewriters from the late 1980s had LCD displays and printers that could be plugged in. It was not the typical, loud, clacky typewriter of the early 20th century.
