ANSWER ONLY LETTER A

5. Emergency Locator Transmitters An aircraft emergency locator transmitter (ELT) is a device
designed to transmit a signal in the case of a crash. The Altigauge Manufacturing Company
makes 80% of the ELTS, the Bryant Company makes 15% of them, and the Chartair Company
makes the other 5%. The ELTS made by Altigauge have a 4% rate of defects, the Bryant ELTS
have a 6% rate of defects, and the Chartair ELTS have a 9% rate of defects.
a) Find the probability of randomly selecting an ELT and getting one manufactured by the
Bryant Company.
b) If an ELT is randomly selected and tested, find the probability that it was manufactured by
the Bryant Company if the test indicates that the ELT is defective.
c) Find the probability of randomly selecting an ELT and getting one manufactured by the
Chartair Company.
d) An ELT is randomly selected and tested. If the test indicates that the ELT is defective, find
the probability that it was manufactured by the Chartair Company.
