Question

Two shipments of components were received by a factory and stored in two seperate bins. Shipment 1 has 2% of its contents defective, while shipment 2 has 5% of its contents defective. If it is equally likely an employee will go to either bin and select a component randomly, what is the probability that a defective component came from shipment 2?a) 0.25
b) 0.222
c) 0.714
d) 0.5

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2% and 5% defective contents respectively. So, if we have a defective content the total possibilities are I,I, İİ,II,II,II,II. Thus that is coming from shipment 2 is 5/7 which is .714.
