After completing an inventory of three warehouses, a golf club shaft manufacturer described its stock of 12,246shafts with the percentages given in the table. Suppose a shaft is selected at random from the 12,246 currentlyin stock, and the warehouse number and type of shaft are observed. Find the probability that the shaft wasproduced in a warehouse other than warehouse 1. Round the the nearest hundredth. $$\text { Type of Shaft }$$
A) 0.70
B) 0.30
C) 0.51
D) 0.83

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

0.70The probability that a shaft was produced in a warehouse other than warehouse 1 can be found by subtracting the percentage of shafts from warehouse 1 from 100%. Since the problem statement does not provide the specific percentages for each warehouse, we can infer from the answer choices and the question's structure that the correct approach involves calculating or knowing the percentage of shafts in warehouse 1 and then subtracting this from 100%. Given the answer choices and the nature of the question, the correct answer implies that 30% of the shafts are from warehouse 1, making the probability of selecting a shaft from another warehouse 70% (100% - 30%).
