A firm buys components from two suppliers: 60 percent from supplier A and the rest from supplier B. It so happens that 9 percent

of the components from supplier A are defective and 15 percent of the components from supplier B are defective. (a) What is the probability that the next component the firm buys is defective? (b) What is the probability that the component that the firm buys is from supplier B if we know that it is defective?

Answer:

0.114,0.5263

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a firm buys  components from two suppliers:

A : 60%  Defective 9%

B:40%  Defective 15%

a) the probability that the next component the firm buys is defective

=prob purchased from A and defective + prob purchased from B and defective

= 0.60(0.09)+0.40(0.15)\\= 0.054+0.06\\=0.114

b)  the probability that the component that the firm buys is from supplier B if we know that it is defective

=Prob from B and defective/Prob defective

= \frac{0.40(0.15)}{0.114} \\=0.5263

How can you determine if you need to use a combination or permutation to count the number of outcomes? Which will usually have m
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation : It is an arrangement of r elements out of n elements.

Combination : it is a selection of r element out of n elements .

Suppose we have a set

S={1,2,3}

If two elements are taken at a time then

Using permutation formula

Total number of outcomes=3P_2

Total number of outcomes=\frac{3!}{(3-2)!}

Total number of outcomes=3!=3\times 2\times1=6

Using combination formula

\binom{n}{r}=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Total number of outcomes=\binom{3}{2}=\frac{3!}{2!1!}

Total number of outcomes=\frac{3\times2!}{2!}

Hence, total number of outcomes=3

Total number of outcomes determined by permutation have more outcomes.

Because permutation is an arrangement of elements  therefore, it consider order of arrangement of element   but combination is a selection of elements it does no consider order of elements

Arrangements of two elements out of 3 elements

{1,2},{2,3},{2,1},{3,2},{1,3},{3,1}

By using combination if two elements taken at a time then combination

{1,2},{2,3},{1,3}

Car Rentals rents cars and trucks for $25 and $30 a
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:let x be the number of cars, and 7-x be the number of trucks.

25x + 30(7-x) = 195

25x + 210-30x = 195

5x = 15

x = 3

So, 3 cars were not rented. If 7 total vehicles were not rented, 7 - 3 cars = 4 Trucks

4 Trucks were not rented.
