Suppose that 8% of a certain batch of calculators have a defective case, and that 13% have defective batters. Also, 4% have both a defective case and defective batteries. A calculator is selected from the batch at random. Find the probability that the calculator has a good case and good batteries. The probability that the calculator has a good case and good batteries is [ ]. (Type an integer or a decimal)
Solution
let A represents defective case
B represents defective batteries
P( A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P( A and B)
= 8 + 13 - 4 = 17%
probability that calculator has good case and good batteries
P(A\' and B\') = P( (A U B)\') (using demorgans law)
= 1 - P(A U B)
= 1 - 17%
= 83%
