Expert Solution
Step 1

Let us define some events

A : chair comes from factory A.

B : chair comes from factory B.

C : chair comes from factory C.

D : chair comes from factory D.

E : chair comes from factory E.

F : chair is faulty

Given that

P(A) = 0.26, P(B) = 0.17, P(C) = 0.20, P(D) = 0.23, P(E) = 0.14

P(F|A) = 0.09, P(F|B) = 0.12, P(F|C) = 0.15, P(F|D) = 0.18, P(F|E) = 0.21
