Inspecting switches A shipment contains 10,000switches. Of these, 1000 are bad. An inspector draws 2 switches at random, one after the other.

(a) Draw a tree diagram that shows the sample space of this chance process.

(b) Find the probability that both switches are defective.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (b) P (Bad and Bad) =0.009991

Part (a) The tree diagram is

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given Information 

A single shipment has a total of 10,000 switches. And there are 1000faulty switches.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Concept Used 

A tree diagram can be used to depict the sample space when chance behavior involves a series of outcomes. Tree diagrams can also be used to determine the likelihood of two or more events occurring at the same time. Simply multiplying along the branches that correspond to the desired results is all that is required.

03

Part (a) Step 3. Calculation 

There are two choices, therefore at each knot, two branches are needed:

The probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes:

04

Part (b) Step 3. Explanation

To get the probability that both switches are defective, multiply the corresponding probabilities.

Therefore, P(BadandBad)=P(Bad)+P(BadafterBad)

=1000100009999999=99999990=0.009991

As a result, there's a good chance that both switches are bad.

P(BadandBad)=0.009991

Preparing for the GMAT A company that offers courses to prepare students for the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) has the following information about its customers: 20% are currently undergraduate students in business; 15% are undergraduate students in other fields of study; 60% are

college graduates who are currently employed, and 5%are college graduates who are not employed. Choose a customer at random.

(a) What鈥檚 the probability that the customer is currently an undergraduate? Which rule of probability did you use to find the answer?

(b) What鈥檚 the probability that the customer is not an undergraduate business student? Which rule of probability did you use to find the answer?

Education among young adults Chooses a young adult (aged 25 to 29) at random. The probability is 0.13 that the person chosen did not complete high school, 0.29 that the person has a high school diploma but no further education, and 0.30 that the person has at least a bachelor鈥檚 degree.

(a) What must be the probability that a randomly chosen young adult has some education beyond high school but does not have a bachelor鈥檚 degree? Why?

(b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen young adult has at least a high school education? Which rule of probability did you use to find the

answer?
