It follows from the conditions of the problem that out of 10% of defective plates, only 75% are detected, i.e. 10 % × 0.75 = 7.5 % of the rejects of the total volume of produced plates. 100% -7.5% = 92.5 plates go on sale, and among them 10% -7.5% = 2.5% are defective. Thus, the probability that a randomly selected plate will not have defects is 92.5 2.5 / 92.5 = 90 / 92.5 0.97
Answer: 0.97
