Answer:
The probability that a product is defective is 0.2733.
Step-by-step explanation:
A product consists of 3 parts. If any one of the part is defective the whole product is considered as defective.
The probability of the 3 parts being defective are:
P (Part 1 is defective) = 0.05
P (part 2 is defective) = 0.10 P (part 3 is defective) = 0.15
Compute the probability that a product is defective as follows:
P (Defective product) = 1 - P (non-defective product)
= 1 - P (None of the 3 parts are defective)
= 1 - P (Part 1 not defective) × P (Part 2 not defective) × P (Part 1 not defective)
Thus, the probability that a product is defective is 0.2733.
