probability that a random selected microprocessor from Intel will not malfunction.
Write the answer as a decimal.

EXPLANATION

The probability that Event A happening is the following:

[tex]P(A)[/tex]

The probability of Event A not happening is the following:

[tex]100-P(A)[/tex]

Therefore, we have:

[tex]P(Malfunctioning)+P(Non\text{ Malfunctioning\rparen=100\%}[/tex]

Plugging in the terms into the expression:

1.8 + P(Not malfunctioning) = 100%

Subtracting -1.8 to both sides:

[tex]P(Not\text{ malfunctioning\rparen=100-1.8}[/tex]

Subtracting numbers:

[tex]P(Not\text{ malfunctioning\rparen=98.2}[/tex]

In conclusion, the probability of not malfunctioning is 0.982
