Probability Question

Hi, unsure of how to answer this, as not seen anything like this in my text books.


So is it
P(A) = 0.5
P(B) = 0.4
P(C) = 0.1

and the conditional probabilities are

P(F|A) = 0.01
P(F|B) = 0.04
P(F|C) = 0.02

Am I missing anything?

I would expect, initially, something like:

Let A be the event the component came from the first source.
Etc.

Then your probabilities, as you have them.

Your answer is however incomplete as it makes no mention of a component being faulty.
I presume you've come across conditional probability.

Thanks for the reply :smile:

I just added the conditional probabilities in.
