Question #182081

A G's production of 950 manufactured parts contains 70 parts that do not meet the customer requirements. Two parts are selected randomly without replacement from the batch. What is the probability that the second part is defective given that the first part is defective?


Expert's answer

If the first part is defective, then there are 70−1=6970-1=69 defective parts among 950−1=949950-1=949 manufactured parts.


P(second D∣first D)=69949P(second\ D|first\ D)=\dfrac{69}{949}

The probability that the second part is defective given that the first part is defective is 69949≈0.0727.\dfrac{69}{949}\approx0.0727.
