Answer:

The probability that a defective ball bearing was manufactured on a Friday = 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the event of making a mistake = M

The event of making a precision ball bearing production on Monday = Mo

The event of making a precision ball bearing production on Tuesday = T

The event of making a precision ball bearing production on Wednesday = W

The event of making a precision ball bearing production on Thursday = Th

The event of making a precision ball bearing production on Friday = F

the conditional probability of making a manufacturing mistake in its precision ball bearing production is 4% on Tuesday, P(M|T) = 4% = 0.04

4% on Wednesday, P(M|W) = 0.04

4% on Thursday, P(M|Th) = 0.04

8% on Monday, P(M|Mo) = 0.08

and 12% on Friday = P(M|F) = 0.12

The Company manufactures an equal amount of ball bearings (20 %) on each weekday, Hence, the probability that a random precision ball bearing was made on a particular day of the week, is mostly the same for all the five working days.

P(Mo) = 0.20

P(T) = 0.20

P(W) = 0.20

P(Th) = 0.20

P(F) 0.20

The probability that a defective ball bearing was manufactured on a Friday = P(F|M)

P(F|M) = P(F n M) ÷ P(M)

P(F n M) = P(M n F)

P(M) = P(Mo n M) + P(T n M) + P(W n M) + P(Th n M) + P(F n M)

We can obtain each of these probabilities by using the expression for conditional probability.

P(Mo n M) = P(M|Mo) × P(Mo) = 0.08 × 0.20 = 0.016

P(T n M) = P(M|T) × P(T) = 0.04 × 0.20 = 0.008

P(W n M) = P(M|W) × P(W) = 0.04 × 0.20 = 0.008

P(Th n M) = P(M|Th) × P(Th) = 0.04 × 0.20 = 0.008

P(F n M) = P(M|F) × P(F) = 0.12 × 0.20 = 0.024

P(M) = P(Mo n M) + P(T n M) + P(W n M) + P(Th n M) + P(F n M)

P(M) = 0.016 + 0.008 + 0.008 + 0 008 + 0.024 = 0.064

P(F|M) = P(F n M) ÷ P(M)

P(F n M) = P(M n F) = 0.024

P(M) = 0.064

P(F|M) = P(F n M) ÷ P(M) = (0.024/0.064) = 0.375

Hope this Helps!

Answer:

8^6

Step-by-step explanation:

Powers are defined as the number of times you multiply a number by itself. For example, 2 to the 3rd power is 2 multiplied by itself 3 times. 2 * 2 * 2 = 8. You also know that if you multiply two powers of the same base, you add the exponent, and if you raise a power to a different power, you multiply the exponents.

e.g:

2^2\cdot2^2=2^{2+2}=2^4\\(2^2)^3=2^{2\cdot3}=2^6

Now, we are asking to use grouping to write 2 to the power 18 as a power of 8. We know 2 to the power 8 is 2 to the power 3, so we have the following equation:

2^{18}=(2^3)^x

We know this is now 2 to the power 3x = 2 the power 18, and therefore x = 6, because 3 times 6 is equal to 18. Now, we can just simplify 2 to the third as 8 and we now have:

8^6
