Question 1143875: A new sports car model has defective brakes 15 percent of the time and a defective steering mechanism 5 percent of the time. Let’s assume (and hope) that these problems occur independently. If one or the other of these problems is present, the car is called a “lemon.” If both of these problems are present, the car is a “hazard.” Your instructor purchased one of these cars yesterday.
What is the probability it is:
a) hazard ?
b) a lemon? Answer by ikleyn(52781) (Show Source):
