An electronic system has three major circuit boards, A, B and C. These boards have respective software support in the ratio, (30

%) : (30 %) : (40 %). Further, percentages of software failure observed in A, B and C respectively are: (4 %), (5 %) and (3 %). Suppose a random failure is observed. What is the probability that this failure is from A, B or C?

Answer:

30.77% probability that this failure is from A.

38.46% probability that this failure is from B.

30.77% probability that this failure is from C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional probability:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

30% probability of board A being chosen.

Board A has a 4% probability of failure.

30% probability of board B being chosen.

Board B has a 5% probability of failure.

40% probability of board C being chosen.

Board B has a 3% probability of failure.

For all these questions:

Event A: Failure

So

P(A) = 0.3*0.04 + 0.3*0.05 + 0.4*0.03 = 0.039

Probability that this failure is from A:

Event B: Board A is chosen.

Intersection:

Failure from board A:

P(A \cap B) = 0.3*0.04 = 0.012

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.012}{0.039} = 0.3077

30.77% probability that this failure is from A.

Probability that this failure is from B:

Event B: Board B is chosen.

Intersection:

Failure from board B:

P(A \cap B) = 0.3*0.05 = 0.015

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.015}{0.039} = 0.3846

38.46% probability that this failure is from B.

Probability that this failure is from C:

Event B: Board C is chosen.

Intersection:

Failure from board C:

P(A \cap B) = 0.4*0.03 = 0.012

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.012}{0.039} = 0.3077

30.77% probability that this failure is from C.

Answer:

  A = -68.75p +2906.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve for m and b using the given values of A and p.

  1600 = m·19 +b

  2150 = m·11 +b

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we have ...

  -550 = 8m

  m = -550/8 = -68.75

Substituting this into the first equation gives ...

  1600 = 19·(-68.75) +b

  b = 1600 +1306.25 = 2906.25

The desired linear equation is ...

  A = -68.75p +2906.25

an equation of the line of best fit for a data set is y=0.76x+8.35 describe what happens to the line of best fit when each y-val
elixir [45]
The y-intercept of the line would change but the slope would not.

Slope is the rate of change of a line.  If the y-values all decrease the same amount, the rate that the line is changing will not change.  For example, let's take the points (5, 6) and (3, 2).  The slope is given by (6-2)/(5-3) = 4/2 = 2.  Now let's decrease the y-coordinates all by 2:
(5, 4) and (3, 0)
The slope now would be (4-0)/(5-3) = 4/2 = 2.

By changing the y-values the same amount, the amount of difference between them stays the same, and so does the rate of change of the line.

Since we shifted the y-values down, however, this moves the line down on the graph, which will change the y-intercept.
