2. In a Maruti Car Showroom, there are 10 white, 5 blue and 10 silver


coloured Maruti-800 cars. A Maruti-800 car is selected at random and it
was not a silver coloured car. What is the probability that it was of blue
colour?

representatives, what is the probability that at least one will have a
wage lower than average?

4. A study of job satisfaction was conducted for four occupation: Cabin


maker lawyer, doctor and systems analyst. Job satisfaction was

a. what is the probability of one of the participants studied had a
satisfaction score in 80s?
b. what is the probability of a satisfaction score in the 80s, given the
study participant was a doctor?
c. what is the prob. that one of the participants studied was a lawyer?
d. what is the prob. that one of the participants was a lawyer and
received a score under 50?

5. A company uses three different assembly lines A1, A2 and A3 to


manufacture a particular component. Of those manufactured by line A1,
there are 5% that need rework to remedy a defect, whereas 8% of A2s
components need rework and 10% of A3s need rework. Suppose that
50% of all components are produced by line A1, while 30% are produced
by line A2 and 20% come from the line A3. What is the probability that a
randomly selected component?
1. Came from line A1 and needed rework?
2. Needed rework?
3. Came from line A2, given that it needed rework?
4. Came from line A3 and needed rework?
