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%.

An expression that can only provide a single solution, y, for any given input, x, is called a “function”.

The given pairs are in the form (x,y)

Looking at set A:

(4,-2), (-2, 2), (2,-2), (4, 2)

Notice that if x=2, there are 2 y’s, -2 and 2. Therefore this set is not a function.

 

<span>Answer: A is not a function</span>

Describe the pattern below<br><br> 3 6.5 11 16.5 23
ipn [44]
6.5 - 3 = 3.5
11 - 6.5 = 4.5
16.5 - 11 = 5.5
23 - 16.5 = 6.5

From this, you can see that the number being added is increasing by 1 each time.

Therefore, the pattern is adding 3.5, then 4.5, then 5.5, then 6.5, and so on.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
Andrews [41]

Answer:

17.2°

Explanations

To find angle A, use the cosine rule.

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2 × a × c cos A

4^2 = 7^2 + 10^2 - 2 × 7 × 10 cos A

16 = 49+ 100 - 140 × cosA

16 = 149 - 140cosA

16- 149 = - 140cosA

-133 = - 140cosA

cosA = 133/140

cosA = 0.95

A = 17.2°

For the following system, use the second equation to make a substitution for y in the first equation. 3x + y = 1 y + 4 = 5x What
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the two equations:

3x+y=1\\y+4=5x

To make a substitution of the second equation into the first equation, we need to isolate the <em>y </em>variable in the second equation. Thus:

y+4=5x\\y=5x-4

Now, we can substitute this into the first equation. Therefore:

3x+y=1\\3x+(5x-4)=1\\3x+5x-4=1
