QUESTION:

Computer keyboard failures are due to faulty electrical connects (12%) or mechanical defects (88%). Mechanical defects are related to loose keys (27%) or improper assembly (73%). Electrical connect defects are caused by defective wires (35%), improper connections (13%), or poorly welded wires (52%).

(a) Find the probability that a failure is due to loose keys.

(b) Find the probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

Given,

Probability of faulty electrical connects, P(E) = 0.12

Probability of mechanical defects, P(M) = 0.88

Probability of mechanical defects due to loose keys, P(K) = 0.27

Probability of mechanical defects due to improper assembly, P(I) = 0.73

Probability of faulty electrical connections due to defective wiring, P(D) = 0.35

Probability of faulty electrical connections due to improper connections, P(C) = 0.13

Probability of faulty electrical connections due to poorly welded wires, P(W) = 0.52.
