A foreman for an injection-molding firm admits that on 55% of his shifts, he forgets to shut off the injection machine on his li

ne. This causes the machine to overheat, increasing the probability that a defective molding will be produced during the early morning run from 3% to 15%. The plant manager randomly selects a molding from the early morning run and discovers it is defective. What is the probability that the foreman forgot to shut off the machine the previous night?

Answer:

0.8594

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a denote the event of forgetting to shut off machine and b be the event of being defective.

-A foreman forgets to shut off machine 55% of the time.

-If he forgets, 15% of molds are defective.

-If he does not, 3% of molds are defective.

#The probability that he forgot to shut off the machine is calculated as:

P(a \ and \ b)=0.55\times 0.15\\\\=0.0825\\\\

P(a and ~b)=0.55(1-0.15)=0.4675

P(~a and b) = (1-0.55)*0.03=0.0135

P(~a and ~b) = (1-0.55)*(1-0.03)=0.4365

#Conditional probability is defined as:

P(a|b)=\frac{P(a \ and\  b)}{P(a)}\\\\=\frac{P(a \ and \ b)}{[(P(a \ and \ b)+P(\~a \ and \ b)}\\\\\\=\frac{0.0825}{0.0825+0.0135}\\\\\\=0.8594

Hence,  the probability that the foreman forgot to shut off the machine the previous night is 0.8594

to find the slope you subtract the y's from each other, and the x's from each other then put the y over the x, bam that's the slope. the y intercept is 5 cause the point is (0,5)
