A manufacturing firm just received a shipment of 52 assembly parts, of slightly varied sizes, from a vendor. The manager knows that there are only 43 parts in the shipment that would be suitable. He examines these parts one at a time.

If the first part is suitable, find the probability that the second part is also suitable. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

If the first part is suitable, find the probability that the second part is not suitable. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

a)

P = 43/52 = 0.83 [ANSWER]

b)

There are 42 suitables left out of 51.

Hence,

P = 42/51 = 14/17

= 0.8235 [ANSWER]

*******************

c)

There are 9 not suitables out of 51 left.

Hence,

P = 9/51 = 3/17

= 0.1765 [ANSWER]
