| Question 26 |
Consider a company that assembles computers. The probability of a faulty assembly of any computer is p. The company therefore subjects each computer to a testing process. This testing process gives the correct result for any computer with a probability of q. What is the probability of a computer being declared faulty?
| pq + (1 – p)(1 – q) | |
| (1 – q)p | |
| (1 – p)q | |
| pq |
Question 26 Explanation:
The probability of the computer being declared faulty is,
= Probability of testing process gives the correct result × Probability that computer is faulty + Probability of testing process giving incorrect result × Probability that computer is not faulty
= p × q + (1 – p) (1 – q)
= Probability of testing process gives the correct result × Probability that computer is faulty + Probability of testing process giving incorrect result × Probability that computer is not faulty
= p × q + (1 – p) (1 – q)
Correct Answer: A
Question 26 Explanation:
The probability of the computer being declared faulty is,
= Probability of testing process gives the correct result × Probability that computer is faulty + Probability of testing process giving incorrect result × Probability that computer is not faulty
= p × q + (1 – p) (1 – q)
= Probability of testing process gives the correct result × Probability that computer is faulty + Probability of testing process giving incorrect result × Probability that computer is not faulty
= p × q + (1 – p) (1 – q)
