A certain system can experience three different types of defects. Let Ai (i = 1,2,3) denote the event that the system has a defe

ct of type i. Suppose that the following probabilities are true. P(A1) = 0.14 P(A2) = 0.09 P(A3) = 0.09 P(A1 ∪ A2) = 0.16 P(A1 ∪ A3) = 0.18 P(A2 ∪ A3) = 0.14 P(A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3) = 0.02 (a) What is the probability that the system does not have a type 1 defect? (b) What is the probability that the system has both type 1 and type 2 defects? (c) What is the probability that the system has both type 1 and type 2 defects but not a type 3 defect? (d) What is the probability that the system has at most two of these defects?

a.

P({A_1}^c)=1-P(A_1)=\boxed{0.86}

b.

P(A_1\cap A_2)=P(A_1)+P(A_2)-P(A_1\cup A_2)=\boxed{0.07}

c. By the law of total probability,

P({A_3}^c)=P((A_1\cap A_2)\cap{A_3}^c)+P((A_1\cap A_2)^c\cap{A_3}^c)

According to the inclusion/exclusion principle,

P((A_1\cap A_2)^c\cap{A_3}^c)=P((A_1\cap A_2)^c)+P({A_3}^c)-P((A_1\cap A_2)^c\cup{A_3}^c)

but by DeMorgan's law,

(A_1\cap A_2)^c\cup{A_3}^c={A_1}^c\cup{A_2}^c\cup{A_3}^c=(A_1\cap A_2\cap A_3)^c

So

P((A_1\cap A_2)^c\cap{A_3}^c)=(1-P(A_1\cap A_2))+(1-P(A_3))-(1-P(A_1\cap A_2\cap A_3))

and from there we find

P(A_1\cap A_2\cap{A_3}^c)=P((A_1\cap A_2\cap A_3)^c)-P((A_1\cap A_2)^c)=\boxed{0.05}

d. The event of having at most two of these defects is complementary to the event that all three defects occur simultaneously:

P((A_1\cap A_2\cap A_3)^c)=1-P(A_1\cap A_2\cap A_3)=\boxed{0.98}

How did the temperature change if :
Mkey [24]
<h3>Answer: Net Increase of 26%</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

If it increases by 5%, then we use the multiplier 1.05

Think of it like saying 100% + 5% = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05

Similarly, an increase of 20% means we involve 1.20

Combine those multipliers to get: 1.05*1.20 = 1.26

This is a net increase of 26%

Interestingly, we get fairly close to 25% which is what many students might go for (since 5 + 20 = 25). This is a beginner's trap.

----------------

An example:

Let's say the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit)

An increase of 5% means it moves to 1.05*20 = 21 degrees C

A 20% increase means we go to 1.20*21 = 25.2 degrees C

The shortcut would be to do a 26% increase to get 1.26*20 = 25.2 to help confirm we have the correct combined increase.
