Question

A personal computer manufacturer buys 36% of its chips from Japan and the rest from the United States. Of the Japanese chips, 1.7% are defective, and 1.2% of the American chips are defective. Find the probability that a chip is defective and made in Japan. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer: 0.0061

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that a chip is defective and made in Japan can be calculated by multiplying the probability of the manufacturer buying from Japan and the probability of Japanese chips being defective:

Probability of buying from Japan : 36%

Probability of Japanese chips being defective : 1.7%

Probability of chip is defective and made in Japan = 36% * 1.7%

= 0.0061
