category: correct incorrect P a 100-a E b 100-b Both P and E correct: x P correct but E incorrect: c P incorrect but E correct: d Both P and E incorrect: 3 Then: total: x+c+d+3=100 P incorrect: 100-a=d+3 E incorrect: 100-b=c+3 60% of incorrect P have incorrect E: 0.6*(100-a) = 3 75% of incorrect E have incorrect P: 0.75*(100-b) = 3 Five unknowns, five equations to solve. From the last two equations: a = 95; b=96. Adding the first three equations, you get: x+100-a-b =3 Therefore x=94 -- by 会员 sdcar2010 (2011/3/20 20:57:17)
Many thanks to this solution, but I still doubt it. Because the question says " each policy has a paper record or an electric record, or both of them." and you only consider 4 situations, and that is every record have both paper and electric records, either correct or incorrect. I think you fail to consider this situation "what about a policy has only a paper record but NO electric record?" |
