About half of the materials are transported by land, 30% by sea, and the rest by air. Also, 40% of all land transportation is bay highway and the rest is by rail shipments. The percentage of damaged cargo are, respectively. 10% by highway, 5% by rail, 6% by sea, and 2% by air. (a) What percentage of all cargos may be expected to be damaged

Sagot :

Answer:

5.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

% Prob (Land) = Half ie 50%  ; % Prob (Sea) = 30%

% Prob (Air) = Remaining ie 100% - 50% - 30% = 20%

Prob (Land highway) = 40% of land = 40% of 50% = 20%

Prob (Land rail) = remaining ie 60% of land = 60% of 50% = 30%

Pr (Damage by Land) = 10% of rail + 5% of rail = 10% of 20% + 5% of 30% = 2% + 1.5% = 3.5%

Prob (Damage by Sea) = 6% of sea = 6% of 30% = 1.8%

Prob (Damage by Air) = 2% of air = 2% of 20% = 0.4%

Total Prob (Damage) =  3.5%  + 1.8% + 0.4%  

= 5.7%
