An electronics company purchases a particular component from two sources: "Supplier A" and "Supplier B". The following statistics were gathered by testing a large number of the components to see if they worked properly:
1% of all components from Supplier A failed.
2% of all components from Supplier B failed.
After combining all components from these two suppliers in a large bin, the probability of randomly selecting a non-working component from Supplier A was 0.1%.
Answer these questions and show all of your work:
1. Given that a component did not fail, what is the probability that it came from Supplier A?
2. Given that a component failed, what is the probability that it came from Supplier B?
3. What is the ratio of the # failed components from Supplier B to the # failed components from Supplier A?
