If 14% are defective, then 86% are not defective.

Therefore, (0.86)7 is the probability that none are defective:  (0.86)7​  =  0.3479

At least one of them is defective is  1 - (none of them is defective):     1 - 0.3479  =  0.6521

The probability that at least one of them is defective  =  0.6521.
