The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the probability that the assembled product (which consists of parts X and Y) is not defective. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Determine the probability of part X being non-defective:** - Given that 9 out of 100 parts X are defective, the probability of part X being defective is: \[ P(\text{X defective}) = \frac{9}{100} \] - Therefore, the probability of part X being non-defective is: \[ P(\text{X non-defective}) = 1 - P(\text{X defective}) = 1 - \frac{9}{100} = \frac{91}{100} \] 2. **Determine the probability of part Y being non-defective:** - Similarly, given that 5 out of 100 parts Y are defective, the probability of part Y being defective is: \[ P(\text{Y defective}) = \frac{5}{100} \] - Thus, the probability of part Y being non-defective is: \[ P(\text{Y non-defective}) = 1 - P(\text{Y defective}) = 1 - \frac{5}{100} = \frac{95}{100} \] 3. **Calculate the probability that both parts X and Y are non-defective:** - Since the events of parts X and Y being non-defective are independent, we can multiply their probabilities: \[ P(\text{X non-defective and Y non-defective}) = P(\text{X non-defective}) \times P(\text{Y non-defective}) = \frac{91}{100} \times \frac{95}{100} \] 4. **Perform the multiplication:** - Calculate: \[ P(\text{X non-defective and Y non-defective}) = \frac{91 \times 95}{100 \times 100} = \frac{8645}{10000} \] 5. **Convert the fraction to decimal form:** - To express the probability in decimal form: \[ P(\text{X non-defective and Y non-defective}) = 0.8645 \] ### Final Answer: The probability that the assembled product will not be defective is **0.8645**.
