A bicycle manufacturer is studying the reliability of one of its models. the study finds that the probability of a brake defect is 4 percent and the probability of both a brake defect and a chain defect is 1 percent. if the probability of a defect with the brakes or the chain is 6 percent, what is the probability of a chain defect? 1.5 percent 2 percent 2.5 percent 3 percent

Respuesta :

Using Venn probabilities, it is found that there is a 0.03 = 3% probability of a chain defect.

What is a Venn probability?

In a Venn probability, two non-independent events are related to each other, as are their probabilities.

The "or probability" is given by:

[tex]\rm P(A \cup B ) = P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)[/tex]

In this problem, the events are:

Event A: Brake defect.

Event B: Chain defect.

For the probabilities, we have that:

  • The study finds that the probability of a brake defect is 4 percent, P(A) = 0.04.

  • The probability of both a brake defect and a chain defect is 1 percent, P(A∩B) = 0.01.

  • The probability of a defect with the brakes or the chain is 6 percent, P(A∪B) = 0.06.

Substitute all the values in the formula

[tex]\rm P(A \cup B ) = P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\0.06=0.04+P(B)-0.01\\\\P(B)=0.06-0.04+0.01\\\\ P(B)=0.03[/tex]

0.03 = 3% probability of a chain defect.

Hence, there is a 0.03 = 3% probability of a chain defect.
