Question 65

A quality control inspector examines a batch of precision components. The probability that a component is 'Grade-A' (AAA) is 0.25, and the probability it is 'Grade-B' (BBB) is 0.75. The inspector selects two components at random, one after the other, with the first being replaced before the second is drawn.
