Of the coffee makers sold in an appliance store, 4.0% have either a faulty switch or a defective cord, 2.5% have a faulty switch, and 0.1% have both defects. what is the probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord? express the answer as a percentage.

Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let A be the event of getting a faulty switch.

Let B be the event of getting a defective cord.

Here, P(A∪B) = 4% = 0.04

P(A∩B) = 0.1% = 0.001

P(A) = 2.5% = 0.025

We need to find P(B):

As we know that

Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.

they are simplified
