Question 81

A quality control inspection of smart sensors found that 710\frac{7}{10}107​ of the units pass a high-temperature stress test. During a separate evaluation, it was determined that 25\frac{2}{5}52​ of the units pass a moisture-resistance test. Among the units that pass the high-temperature stress test, it was found that only 310\frac{3}{10}103​ also pass the moisture-resistance test.

Find the probability that a randomly selected sensor from this inspection:

a.

Passes both the high-temperature stress test and the moisture-resistance test.

[2]
b.

Does not pass the high-temperature stress test and does not pass the moisture-resistance test.

[3]
c.

Determine, giving your reason, whether or not passing the high-temperature stress test and passing the moisture-resistance test are statistically independent.
