Question

Intel's microprocessors have a 1.7% chance of malfunctioning. Determine the probability that a random selected microprocessor from Intel will not malfunction. Write the answer as a decimal

Answer 1

Given:

There are given that the microprocessors have a 1.7% chance of malfunctioning.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that a macro processor from intel will not manufacture, first we need to find the probability that the microprocessor has a 1.7%.

Then,

From the probability that the microprocessor has a 1.7%:

`\begin{gathered} P=(1.7)/(100) \\ P=0.017 \end{gathered}`

Now,

The probability that a macro processor from intel will not manufacture:

So,

We need to subtract the above probability values from 1.

Then,

`\begin{gathered} P(not)=1-0.017 \\ P(not)=0.983 \end{gathered}`

Final answer:

Hence, the probability that a macro processor from intel will not manufacture is 0.983
