The probability of picking a sample of 4 CD players with two bad ones involves calculating a combination of selecting 2 defective out of 2 and 2 non-defective out of 24, divided by the combination of selecting any 4 out of the total 26. This is calculated as: $\frac{{\binom{2}{2} \cdot \binom{24}{2}}}{{\binom{26}{4}}}$, which approximates to 0.018 when rounded to the nearest thousandth.
