Question 913854: Hello - How do I solve the following?
After completing an inventory of three warehouses, a golf club shaft manufacturer described its stock of 12,246 shafts with the percentages given in the table. Suppose a shaft is selected at random from the 12,246 currently in stock, and the warehouse number and type of shaft are observed.
Type of Shaft Regular Stiff Extra Stiff
Warehouse 1 19% 8% 9%
Warehouse 2 14% 20% 5%
Warehouse 3 7% 18% 0%
Find the probability that the shaft was produced in a warehouse other than warehouse 1.

add the %'s for warehouse 2 and 3
warehouse 2 = 14 +20 +5 = 29%
warehouse 3 = 7 +18 + 0 = 25%
warehouses 2 + 3 = 54%
probability that the shaft was produced in a warehouse other than warehouse 1 is 54% or .54
