Answer:

1.0282

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for a increase of a% is 1 + a/100.

The multiplier for a decrease of b% is 1 - b/100.

Decrease of 3% followed by a 6% increase:

Calculate each multiplier, and then multiply then:

Decrease 3%: 1 - (3)/100 = 0.97

Increase 6%: 1 + (6)/100 = 1.06

0.97*1.06 = 1.0282

The answer is 1.0282

Answer:

0.0467

Step-by-step explanation:

Probabilty of being defective is $\frac{3}{190}$

So probability of being good is $\frac{187}{190}$

Now,

Probability that all 3 of them are good is:

$\frac{187}{190}^{3}=0.9533$

Now, to find probability of rejection, we subtract the now found probability from 1. Thus, we have:

1 - 0.9533 = 0.0467
