The Crystal Window Company Makes Windows at Three Locations: Reno

question 2

True/False

The Crystal Window Company makes windows at three locations: Reno, Las Vegas, and Boise. Some windows made by the company contain a visible defect and must be replaced. Each defect costs the company $45.00. The Reno plant makes 40 percent of all windows while the Las Vegas and Boise plants split the remaining production evenly. A recent quality study shows that 8 percent of the Reno windows contain a defect, 11 percent of the Las Vegas windows contain a defect, while 4 percent of the windows made in Boise have a defect. Once the windows are made, they are shipped to a central warehouse where they are commingled and the location where they were made is lost. Based on this information the probability that a defective window was made by the Boise plant is approximately 0.16.
