Question
A company sends its products from 3 warehouses, namely from warehouse A=30%, warehouse
B=20% and from warehouse C=50%. Based on complaints from customers, it is known that
the percentage of defective products sent from each warehouse is as follows: A=
3% , B= 5% and from warehouse C= 2%.
a. Suppose a customer after ordering the product, the next day
Complained that the item was defective. What is the probability that the product received
the customer is from warehouse C?
b. If another customer who also orders the product and gets
the goods are in good condition, what is the probability that the product received by the customer
does it come from warehouse A?

- 4. If a randomly chosen athlete tests negative, what’s the probability that the student took a banned substance? Explain why it makes sense for the drug-testing process to be designed so that this probability is less than the one you found in Question 3.5. The district decides to immediately retest any athlete who tests positive. Assume that the results of an athlete’s two tests are independent. Find the probability that a student who gets a positive result on both tests actually took a banned substance. Based on your answer, do you think that an athlete who tests positive twice should be suspended from athletic competition for a year?
