ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
Given, from a large population, micro processing chips are randomly sampled one by one.
These chips are tested to determine if they are acceptable for a certain application.
From the population 90% of the chips are acceptable.
Where, P(A) = acceptable chips and P(B) = unacceptable chips.
