Answer:
a) i) P( final product is acceptable ) = 3/5
ii) P ( final product not acceptable ) = 2/5
B) P ( final product is acceptable | X =2 ) = 2/5
C) P ( Y = 3 | Final product is acceptable ) = 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data :
5 states : 1 (poor), 2 (below average), 3 (average), 4 (good), and 5 (excellent)
Number of components produced = 2
X ( component 1 ) ∴ P(X) = 1/5
Y ( component 2 ) ∴ P(Y) = 1/5
Aim : Sum of Final product needs to be ≥ 6
<u>A) Probability of a final product been acceptable and also unacceptable</u>
P( final product is acceptable ) ; P(X + Y ≥ 6 )
= 1/5 ∑ P( Y ≥ 6 - x )
= 1/5 ( P( Y ≥ 5 ) + P( Y ≥ 4 ) + P( Y ≥ 3 ) + P( Y ≥ 2 ) + P( Y ≥ 1 )
= 1/5 ( 1/5 + 2/5 + 3/5 +4/5 + 1 )
= 3/5
P ( final product not acceptable ) = 1 - 3/5 = 2/5
B) P ( final product is acceptable | X =2 )
∴ P ( Y ≥ 4 )
= 2/5
C) P ( Y = 3 | Final product is acceptable )
∴ P ( X ≥ 3 ) ≠ P( Y ≥ 3 ) ( because they are not independent )
= 1 - 3/5 = 2/5.
