Ответ:
(a) The probability that an item has an inspection is 0.1984.
(b) The probability that an item is defective given that it has an inspection is 0.2581.
Step-by-step explanation:
The law of total probability states that, if B₁, B₂, B₃,... are part of a sample space S, then for any event A,
The condition probability of an event A given that another event B has already occurred is:
Denote the events as follows:
X = an item is defective
Y = the item is being inspected by the inspector.
The information provided is:
(a)
Compute the probability that an item has an inspection as follows:
Use the law of total probability:
Thus, the probability that an item has an inspection is 0.1984.
(b)
Compute the probability that an item is defective given that it has an inspection as follows:
Use the condition probability:
Thus, the probability that an item is defective given that it has an inspection is 0.2581.
