Question

Find the indicated probability. Give your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth. 19) After completing an inventory of three warehouses, a golf club shaft manufacturer described its stock of 12,246 shafts with the percentages given in the table. Suppose a shaft is selected at random from the 12,246 currently in stock, and the warehouse number and type of shaft are observed. Given that the shaft is produced in warehouse 2, find the probability it has an extra stiff shaft Type of Shaft Regular Stiff Extra Stiff 19% 8% Warehouse 2 14% 2% 16% 18% 0% A) 0.1 B) 0.051 C) 0.39 D) 0.095 19% 4% 3

Answer 1

From the given information,

The required probability is given by,

P( Extra stiff I Ware house 2)

=P (Extra stiff ⋂ Ware house 2) / P( Ware house 2)

= 2 % / (14%+4%+2%)

=2% / 20%

=0.1

Hence, Option A. is correct.
