Answer:
a) 0.8841
b) 0.0435
Step-by-step explanation:
A : the set of joints deemed defective by inspector A.
B: the set of joints deemed defective by inspector B.
U: the set of all joints.
The problem says |A|=724, |B|=751, |A∪B|=1159, |U|=10000. Hence, with the help of Venn diagram we can answer the following:
Part a)
This asks for the number of joints that are ∉(A∪B).
hence,
P (∉(A∪B)) :
[tex]\frac{10000-1159}{10000} \\\\=0.8841[/tex]
part b)
This asks for the number of joints that are in B but not in A, which Is represented as the set B−A
[tex]= \frac{|B| - |AandB| }{|U|}\\\\= \frac{751-316 }{10000}\\\\= 0.0435[/tex]
