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)
Alright, so since the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/(slope), we get (-1/2)=-1/2 and y=(-1/2)x + something. Plugging 7 in as y and -4 in as x, we get 7=(-1/2)(4)+something (let's make it a variable b), and multiplying it out we get 7=-2+b. Adding 2 to both sides, we get 7+2=9=b, so the perpendicular line equation is therefore y=(-1/2)x+b<span />
Answer:
the first one's answer is y > x
the first second one's answer is y < 6.5x i believe, sorry if im wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
1 ton = 2,000 pounds
3 tons = 6,000 pounds
$480/6,000 = 0.08
per pound is $0.08
