Question 1127222: A wheel bearing factory rejects bearings if they are either oversize or undersize. The
probability that a bearing is oversize is 0.004 while the probability that it is undersize
is 0.01.
(a) Are oversize rejection and undersize rejection events mutually exclusive?
(b) What is the probability that a bearing selected at random is not within size limits?
(c) What is the probability that a bearing selected at random is correctly sized? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a. Yes. A bearing can't be both undersize and oversize.
b. The probability is the sum or 0.014 that it is not within size limits.
c. correct size probability is the complement or 0.986
