Answer:
The probability of a chain defect is 3%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : 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
To find : What is the probability of a chain defect?
Solution :
Let A be the event of brake defect
and B be the event of chain defect.
We have given, P(A)= 4%=0.04
P(A and B) = 1%=0.01
P(A or B)= 6%=0.06
We have to find P(B),
The formula used is,
Substitute the value,
or
Therefore, The probability of a chain defect is 3%.
