Transcribed Image Text:a. What is the probability a randomly chosen item is labeled negative -?
b. An item is labeled negative -. What is the probability that the item is defective?
c. Are the events \( D \) and \( - \) independent? Why or why not?

Transcribed Image Text:**Inspection Process for Defective Items**
Before leaving the factory, items undergo inspection to determine if they are defective. Here's how the process works:
- **Defective Items:**
- If an item is defective, there's a **90% probability** it will be labeled as negative (-).
- **Non-Defective Items:**
- If an item is not defective, there's a **5% probability** it will incorrectly be labeled as negative (-).
**Notation:**
- Let \( D \) represent the event that an item is defective.
- Let \(-\) denote the event where an item is labeled as negative.
- Items have a **10% probability** of being defective.
**Events:**
- \( D \) = Defective
- \( D^c \) = Not defective
- \(-\) = Negative
- \(-^c\) (or \(+\)) = Not negative (Positive)
This process helps in deciding whether items are fit for use.
