What is the probability of an incorrect conclusion?

What is the probability of an incorrect conclusion? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent. A quality assurance check is 91% accurate for non-defective devices and 97% accurate for defective devices. Of the devices checked, 84% are not defective.
A

Here are the calculations:

16. 91% of 84% = 0.91 X 0.84 = 0.7644, (which equals 76.44%)

84 – 76.44 = 0.0756

This means that the probability of an incorrect conclusion equals 7.6% (nearest tenth)
