How can I use MATLAB to solve this problem

1 view (last 30 days)
3. Manufacturing simulation A company has a manufacturing factory of biometric sensors. It is known that 30% of the sensors are defective. If a sensor is defective, the probability that a robot from the Quality Department detects the failure is 0.9, and if the sensor is not defective, the probability that the robot detects it as defective and takes it out is 0.20. If a customer buys two biometric sensors not taken out: (a) Compute the theoretical value of the probability that both sensors are defective. (b) Estimate using simulation the probability that both sensors are defective.

This sounds like a homework assignment. If it is, show us the code you've written to try to solve the problem and ask a specific question about where you're having difficulty and we may be able to provide some guidance.
If you aren't sure where to start because you're not familiar with how to write MATLAB code, I suggest you start with the MATLAB Onramp tutorial (https://www.mathworks.com/support/learn-with-matlab-tutorials.html) to quickly learn the essentials of MATLAB.
If you aren't sure where to start because you're not familiar with the mathematics you'll need to solve the problem, I recommend asking your professor and/or teaching assistant for help.
