Expert Solution

Total stereos purchased = 450 + 550 = 1000

P(stereos are purchased from company A) = 450/1000 = 0.45

P(stereos are purchased from company B) = 550/1000 = 0.55

P(defective | company A) = 0.06

P(defective | company B) = 0.04

b) P(defective) = P(defective | company A) * P(company A) + P(defective | company B) * P(company B)

                        = 0.06 * 0.45 + 0.04 * 0.55

                        = 0.049

a) P(company A | defective) = P(defective | company A) * P(company A) / P(defective)

                                             = 0.06 * 0.45 / 0.049

                                             = 0.5510
