Algebra.Com's Answer #786677 by VFBundy(438) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Prob. can has a flaw \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "= Prob. can has a flaw on its side OR on its top \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "= Prob. can has a flaw on its side + Prob. can has a flaw on its top - Prob. can has a flaw on its side AND its top \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "= 0.02 + 0.03 - 0.01 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "= 0.04 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Obviously, if the probability a can has a flaw is 0.04, the probability it does NOT have a flaw is 0.96. |
