a) An automobile manufacturer is concerned about a possible recall of its best-selling four- door sedan. If there were a recall, there is a probability of 0.18 of a defect in the brake system, 0.17 of a defect in the transmission, 0.25 of a defect in the fuel system, and 0.40 of a defect in some other area. i) What is the probability that the defect is the brakes or the fueling system if the probability of defects in both systems simultaneously is 0.15? ii) What is the probability that there are no defects in either the brakes or the fueling system? b) if two fair dice are thrown, what is the probability of getting? i) ii) A double six A sum of 8 or more dots

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

a) An automobile manufacturer is concerned about a possible recall of its best-selling four-
door sedan. If there were a recall, there is a probability of 0.18 of a defect in the brake
system, 0.17 of a defect in the transmission, 0.25 of a defect in the fuel system, and 0.40
of a defect in some other area.
i) What is the probability that the defect is the brakes or the fueling system if the
probability of defects in both systems simultaneously is 0.15?
ii) What is the probability that there are no defects in either the brakes or the fueling
system?
b) if two fair dice are thrown, what is the probability of getting?
