4. Three companies – Abbot, MedTech, and SciLabs – manufacture COVID-19 tests. A hospital must
decide from which company to purchase COVID-19 tests. The probability that Abbot, MedTech,
and SciLabs is chosen is 0.4, 0.25, and 0.35 respectively. The probability that the Abbot test is
accurate is 80%, that MedTech’s is accurate is 75%, and that SciLabs’ is INACCURATE is 10%.
