Units of a manufactured product that are to be inspected are known to be subject to three types of defects. Six percent of the units have surface finish flaws, 4% have improperly fixed ground wires, and 3% have base mounts that are not level. It is known that .25% of the units have all three defect types and .50% have surface finish flaws and improperly fixed ground wires. In addition, we know that .50% have the combination of only surface finish flaws and base mounts that are not level, and 1.5% have only the unlevel base mount defect.

a. What is the probability that a unit selected at random will have both an improperly fixed ground wire and a base mount that is not level?

b. What is the probability that a unit selected at random will have only the improperly fixed ground wire defect?

c. What is the probability that a unit selected at random will have only the surface flaw defect?

d. What is the probability that a unit selected at random will be defect free?

I am having trouble, especially because it says that 3% have the base mount defect then later says 1.5% have the base mount defect. Please guide me through your thinking, thank you :)

here let probability of having surface finish flaws , improperly fixed ground wires and base mounts that are not level are A,B and C

P(A)= 0.06
P(B)= 0.04
P(C)= 0.03
P(AnB)= 0.005
P(AnC)=P(A)+P(C)-P(A U C)= 0.005
P(AnBnC)=P(A)+P(B)+P(C)-P(AnB)-P(AnC)-P(BnC)+P(AuBuC)= 0.0025

here as P(only unlevel base mount defect)= P(C n Ac n Bc)=P(C)-P(A n C)-P(B n C)+P(A n B n C)

=0.03-0.005-P(B n C)+0.0025 =0.015

P(B n C) =0.0125

a)

probability that a unit selected at random will have both an improperly fixed ground wire and a base mount that is not level

=P( B n C) =0.0125

b)

probability that a unit selected at random will have only the improperly fixed ground wire defect

=P(Acn B n Cc)=P(B)-P(A n B)-P(B n C) +P(A n B nC )=0.025

c)

probability that a unit selected at random will have only the surface flaw defect =P(A n Bc n Cc)

=P(A)-P(A n B)-P(A n C)+P(A n B n C)=0.06-0.005-0.005+0.0025 =0.0525

d)

at least one =P(AUBUC)= P(A)+P(B)+P(C )-P(AnB)-P(BnC)-P(AnC)+P(AnBnC)= 0.11

hence P(no defect) =1-0.11 =0.89

) Aristotle Company planned to manufacture and sell 50,000 units of product, but instead manufactured and sold 49,000 units. Their operating income dropped significantly and top management would like to understand the cause of that. The company planned to purchase and use 500,000 pounds of direct material, but actually purchased and used 510,000 pounds of direct material. Production standards call for 7 hours per unit paid at $10.00 per hour. Aristotle actually used 352,800 direct labor hours. Variable overhead is...
