To find the probability that the manager finds the first defective chip on the first test, we need to consider the probability of selecting a defective chip from the shipment.

Given that 5% of the chips are defective, we can calculate the probability as follows:

P(defective chip) = 5% = 0.05

Thus, the probability of finding the first defective chip on the first test is 0.05 or 5%.

Please note that this calculation assumes that each chip in the shipment has an equal chance of being selected for testing.
