Question 1162810: In a process that manufacture aluminum cans the probability that a can has a flaw on its side is 0.02 the probability that a can has flaw on the top is 0.03 and the probability that a can has a flaw on both the side and the top is 0.01 what is the probability that a randomly chosen can has a flaw? what is the probability that it has no flaw? Answer by VFBundy(438) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Prob. can has a flaw
= Prob. can has a flaw on its side OR on its top
= 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
= 0.02 + 0.03 - 0.01
= 0.04
Obviously, if the probability a can has a flaw is 0.04, the probability it does NOT have a flaw is 0.96.
