    The probability that a randomly chosen computer chip produced by this company is defective and was produced in st. louis is 0.009

    Explanation:

    Let the total number of computer chips = x

    St. Louis = 48 % of x = 0.48x

    Chicago = 52% of x = 0.52x

    Defective in st. Louis = 0.9 % of 0.48x

    Defective in Chicago = 0.9% of 0.52x

    Probability of chip is defective and was from st louis, P = ?

    P = Defective in St. Louis / Number of chips made in St. Louis

    P = 0.9 % of 0.48x / 0.48x

    P = 0.009

    Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen computer chip produced by this company is defective and was produced in st. louis is 0.009
