In a factory, 60% of widgets are Type X and 40% are Type Y. A widget is inspected by two independent tests. For Type X the probability that a test detects a defect is 0.90 on the first test and 0.95 on the second test; for Type Y the corresponding probabilities are 0.80 and 0.85. A widget is found defective in both tests. (a) What is the probability that the widget is of Type X? (b) In a batch of 200 widgets, what is the expected number that will be detected defective in both tests?

Answer Options

A. Probability = 513/860 (≈0.596); Expected number = 119
B. Probability = 513/910 (≈0.564); Expected number = 113
