    96% probability that the test result is correct

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have these following probabilities:

    2.3% probability that a randomly selected light is defective.

    If the light is defective, 94% probability that the test result is correct.

    100-2.3 = 97.7% probability that a randomly selected light is not defective.

    If the light is not defective, 96% probability that the test result is correct.

    What is the probability that the test result is correct?

    94% of 2.3% and 96% of 97.7%. So

    p = 0.94*0.023 + 0.96*0.977 = 0.96

    96% probability that the test result is correct
