Question 360117: The probability that a one-car accident is due to faulty brakes is 0.04 , the probability that a one-car accident is correctly attributed to faulty brakes is 0.82 , and the probability that a one-car accident is incorrectly attributed to faulty brakes is 0.03 . What is the probability that :
a) A one-car accident will be attributed to faulty brakes;
b) A one-car accident attributed to faulty brakes was actually due to faulty brakes . Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a)
.04*.82=.0328
.0328 + 0.03 = .0628 Probability a one-car accident will be attributed to faulty brakes.
