Paper Details

Disks of polycarbonate plastic from a supplier are analyzed for scratch and shock resistance. The results from 100 disks are summarized as follows:
Shock resistance
High Low
Scratch high 70 9
Resistance low 16 5
(a) If a disk is selected at random, what is the probability that its scratch resistance is high and its shock resistance is high?
(b) If a disk is selected at random, what is the probability that its scratch resistance is high or its shock resistance is high?
(c) Consider the event that a disk has high scratch resistance and the event that a disk has high shock resistance. Are these two events mutually exclusive?
