A lot of 932 components contains 344 that are defective. Two components are drawn at random and tested. Let A be the event that the first component drawn is defective, and let B be the event that the second component drawn is defective. Write your answer as a fraction or a decimal, rounded to four decimal places. 1. What is the P(A)? . 2. What is the P(B|A)? . 3. What is the P(A and B)? . 4. Are A and B independent? Is it reasonable to treat A and B as though they were independent? Explain.
