Hi  
	0.8(ISO)				0.2 (no ISO)	
0.50		0.50		            0.70		0.30
successful	not successful		successful		not successful

a. If a company is selected at random, what is the probability that it is a successful company
P = .80(.50) + .20(.70)
P = .40 + .14 = .54
b. If a company is selected at random and found unsuccessful, what is the probability that it did not get the ISO certificate?
P(A|B) = P(A and B)/P(B)
P(noISO|unsuccessful) = .06/.46 = .130
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
