A particular electronic component is produced at two plants for an electronics manufacturer. Plant A produces 70% of the compone

nts used and the remainder are produced by plant B. Among the components produced at plant A, the proportion of defective components is 1%. Among the components produced at plant B, the proportion of defective components is 2%. If a component received by the manufacturer is defective, the probability that it was produced at plant A is

Answer:

If a component received by the manufacturer is defective, the probability that it was produced at plant A is 0.5385 = 53.85%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Bayes Theorem to solve this question.

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Defective component

Event B: Produced at plant A.

Plant A produces 70% of the components used

This means that P(B) = 0.7

Among the components produced at plant A, the proportion of defective components is 1%.

This means that P(A|B) = 0.01

Probability of a defective component:

1% of 70%(defective at plant A)

2% of 100 - 70 = 30%(defective at plant B). So

P(A) = 0.01*0.7 + 0.02*0.3 = 0.013

If a component received by the manufacturer is defective, the probability that it was produced at plant A is

P(B|A) = \frac{0.7*0.01}{0.013} = 0.5385

If a component received by the manufacturer is defective, the probability that it was produced at plant A is 0.5385 = 53.85%.

What is the interest earned on $3000 at a rate of 0.04 for three years? The formula is interest equals (principal) (rate) (time)
bekas [8.4K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The interest after 3 years is $360

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given the principal amount (P) = $3000

Rate of interest (R) = 0.04

Time period (T) is given as 3 years

The Simple Interest is calculated by the formula;

SI = Principal \times Rate of Interest \times Time

Substituting the values in the above formula,

SI = 3000 \times 0.04 \times 3

SI = $360

Therefore, the interest after 3 years is $360

The Cartesian coordinates of a point are given. (a) (−5, 5) (i) Find polar coordinates (r, θ) of the point, where r &gt; 0 and 0
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

a)

(i) The coordinates of the point in polar form is (5√2 , 7π/4)

(ii) The coordinates of the point in polar form is (-5√2 , 3π/4)

b)

(i) The coordinates of the point in polar form is (6 , π/3)

(ii) The coordinates of the point in polar form is (-6 , 4π/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the meaning of polar form

- To convert from Cartesian Coordinates (x,y) to Polar Coordinates (r,θ):

1. r = √( x2 + y2 )

2. θ = tan^-1 (y/x)

- In Cartesian coordinates there is exactly one set of coordinates for any

 given point

- In polar coordinates there is literally an infinite number of coordinates

 for a given point

- Example:

- The following four points are all coordinates for the same point.

# (5 , π/3) ⇒ 1st quadrant

# (5 , −5π/3) ⇒ 4th quadrant

# (−5 , 4π/3) ⇒ 3rd quadrant

# (−5 , −2π/3) ⇒ 2nd quadrant

- So we can find the points in polar form by using these rules:

 [r , θ + 2πn] , [−r , θ + (2n + 1) π] , where n is any integer

 (more than 1 turn)

* Lets solve the problem

(a)

∵ The point in the Cartesian plane is (-5 , 5)

∵ r = √x² + y²

∴ r = √[(5)² + (-5)²] = √[25 + 25] = √50 = ±5√2

∵ Ф = tan^-1 (y/x)

∴ Ф = tan^-1 (5/-5) = tan^-1 (-1)

- Tan is negative in the second and fourth quadrant

∵ 0 ≤ Ф < 2π

∴ Ф = 2π - tan^-1(1) ⇒ in fourth quadrant r > 0

∴ Ф = 2π - π/4 = 7π/4

OR

∴ Ф = π - tan^-1(1) ⇒ in second quadrant r < 0

∴ Ф = π - π/4 = 3π/4

(i) ∵ r > 0

∴ r = 5√2

∴ Ф = 7π/4 ⇒ 4th quadrant

∴ The coordinates of the point in polar form is (5√2 , 7π/4)

(ii) r < 0

∴ r = -5√2

∵ Ф = 3π/4 ⇒ 2nd quadrant

∴ The coordinates of the point in polar form is (-5√2 , 3π/4)

(b)

∵ The point in the Cartesian plane is (3 , 3√3)

∵ r = √x² + y²

∴ r = √[(3)² + (3√3)²] = √[9 + 27] = √36 = ±6

∵ Ф = tan^-1 (y/x)

∴ Ф = tan^-1 (3√3/3) = tan^-1 (√3)

- Tan is positive in the first and third quadrant

∵ 0 ≤ Ф < 2π

∴ Ф = tan^-1 (√3) ⇒ in first quadrant r > 0

∴ Ф = π/3

OR

∴ Ф = π + tan^-1 (√3) ⇒ in third quadrant r < 0

∴ Ф = π + π/3 = 4π/3

(i) ∵ r > 0

∴ r = 6

∴ Ф = π/3 ⇒ 1st quadrant

∴ The coordinates of the point in polar form is (6 , π/3)

(ii) r < 0

∴ r = -6

∵ Ф = 4π/3 ⇒ 3rd quadrant

∴ The coordinates of the point in polar form is (-6 , 4π/3)
