Probability
14- On an assembly line for bottling soft drinks, the bottles may bedefective
in three ways:
A the bottle contains foreign bodies
B the bottle contains less than 240 millilitres of liquid
c the bottle is chipped
All the bottles found defective in any or all of these ways are rejected.
The probability of A is 1 in 50, the probability of B is 1 in 40 and the
probability of C is 1 in 20.
(i) Assuming these events are mutually independent of each other,
calculate the probability that a bottle selected at random from the
assembly line
(a) is defective in ALL THREE waYs
(b) contains foreign bodies and less than 240 millilitres of liquid
(ii) Given that
PIAUBUC)=P(AI+P(B)+ec\-PlA^lBl-PfBncl-Plcn',4)+P(enBnc)
calculate the probability that a bottle contains foreign bodies or
contains less than 240 millilitres of liquid or is chipped'
(iii) 10000 bottles are placed on the assembly line on a given day,
estimate how many bottles will be rejected that day. Give your
ilr*"-r to 3 significant figures. (11 marks)
