b) at most a total of 5

3) An automobile manufacturer is concerned about a possible recall of its best selling fourdoor sedan. If there were a recall, there is 0.25 probability that a defect is in the brake
system; 0.18 in the transmission; 0.17 in the fuel system; and 0.40 in some other area. (3

system?
