A lot of 1115 components contains 275 that are defective. Two components are drawn at random and tested. Let A be the event that the first component drawn is defective, and let B be the event that the second component dràwn is defective.

1) Find P (A).

2) Find P (BIA).

3) Find P (AnB)

    1) P (A) = 0.2466

    2) P (B|A) = 0.246

    3) P (AnB) = 0.0607

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

    1) Find P (A).

    This is the probability that the first component is defective.

    1115 components, of which 275 are defective. So

    P (A) = 275/1115 = 0.2466

    2) Find P (BIA).

    This is the probability that the second component is defective, given that the first is.

    Now there are 1114 components, of which 274 are defective. So

    P (BIA) = 274/1114 = 0.246

    P (B|A) = 0.246

    3) Find P (AnB)

    P (AnB) = P (A) * P (BIA) = 0.2466*0.246 = 0.0607

    P (AnB) = 0.0607
