A production line has a consecutive 3 part quality testing mechanism, QT1, QT2 and QT3.If we consider the following probabilities:Probability that QT1 operates properly= 0.76Probability that QT2 operates properly =0.85Probability that QT3 operates properly = 0.79Design an event tree to demonstrate the routes to each of the possible outcomes. Work out the probability of each of the outcomes.What is the probability that a faulty product will pass through the quality tests undetected?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________(10 marks)7.
