Let

denote the event that an HD is defective, and

the event that a particular HD was produced at facility

.
You are asked to compute



From the definition of conditional probabilities, the first two will require that you first find

. Once you have this, part (c) is trivial.
I'll demonstrate the computation for part (a). Part (b) is nearly identical.
(a)

Presumably, the facility responsible for producing a given HD is independent of whether the HD is defective or not, so

.
Use the law of total probability to determine the value of the denominator:

We know each of the component probabilities because they are given explicitly: 0.015, 0.02, 0.01, and 0.03, respectively. So

and thus

(b) Similarly,

(c)
No! Remember, you see a negative exponent, that just means the reciprocal of the positive exponent. So 1 over negative 2 to the third power, to the positive third power. And this is equal to 1 over negative 2 times negative 2 times negative 2. ... So this is equal to negative 1/8.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
S=cost of software
4S=cost of computer
Total cost = $1200
=>
S+4S=1200
solve for S
5S=1200
S=240 (= cost of software)
Cost of computer = 4*240 = $960
let <ACB=<C,
Here h=26 due to opposite to right angle is hypotenuse and b=10 Is a base and p=24 due to opposite to the angle <C
so,
Cos<C=b/h
=10/26
=5/13
