Question 10 • FL-1207350-Mathematics for College Liberal Arts Semester 2 Adult Credit Course SY2526

A bicycle manufacturer is studying the reliability of one of its models. The study finds that the probability of a brake defect is 4 percent and the probability of both a brake defect and a chain defect is 1 percent.If the probability of a defect with the brakes or the chain is 6 percent, what is the probability of a chain defect?

Answer

A

1.5 percent

B

2 percent

C

2.5 percent

D

3 percent

Explanation

Use the addition rule: P(brake or chain) = P(brake) + P(chain) − P(both). Substituting the given probabilities gives 6% = 4% + P(chain) − 1%, so P(chain) = 3%. The correct choice is 3 percent.
