- A0.34
- B0.06
- C0.40
- D0.84
Step-by-Step Solution
The three probabilities differ, so the cases must be listed one by one rather than counted with a binomial formula. Exactly two notice the flaw in three ways: the first two but not the third, ; the first and third but not the second, ; the second and third but not the first, . That is 0.34. All three notice it with probability . Adding the disjoint cases gives 0.34 + 0.06 = 0.40. The option 0.34 stops at 'exactly two' and forgets that all three noticing also counts as at least two; 0.06 is 'all three' alone; and is the probability that at least ONE inspector notices the flaw.
Answer: C) 0.40
