Two machines turn out all the products in a factory, with the first machine producing 40%of the product and the second 60%. The

first machine produces defective products 2% of the timeand the second machine 4% of the time. Given a defective product, what is the probability it wasproduced on the first machine

Answer:

Given a defective product, the probability it was produced on the first machine is \\ P(F|D) = 0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a case that can be solved using the <em>Bayes' Theorem</em>, which implies <em>conditional probabilities</em>.

We have to remember that in conditional probabilities, the <em>sample space</em> is replaced by the probability of a given event (as can be seen below).

First, we need to find the probability of <em>producing a defective product</em>:

\\ P(D) = P(D|F)*P(F) + P(D|S)*P(S) (1)

Where

P(D), the probability of producing a <em>defective product</em>.

P(F), the probability that the product was <em>produced by the first machine</em>. In this case, P(F) = 0.40.

P(S), the probability that the product was produced <em>by the second machine</em>. In this case, P(S) = 0.60.

P(D|F), a conditional probability that the product is <em>defective</em> given (or assuming) that it was produced by the <em>first machine</em>. In this case, from the question, P(D|F) = 0.02.

P(D|S), a conditional probability that the product is <em>defective</em> given (or assuming) that it was produced by the <em>second machine</em>. In this case, from the question, P(D|S) = 0.04.

So, from formula (1):

\\ P(D) = P(D|F)*P(F) + P(D|S)*P(S)

\\ P(D) = 0.02*0.40 + 0.04*0.60

\\ P(D) = 0.032

That is, the probability of producing a defective product from these two machines is P(D) = 0.032.

From conditional probabilities we know that:

\\ P(A \cap B) = P(A|B)*P(B)

\\ P(A \cap B) = P(B|A)*P(A) = P(B \cap A)

So

\\ P(A|B)*P(B) = P(B|A)*P(A)

In the same way, we can say that

\\ P(F|D)*P(D) = P(D|F)*P(F) = P(D \cap F) = P(F \cap D)

In words, the probability that both events (D and F) occur is given by the "relationship" of conditional probabilities between these two events.

Then

The probability that a product comes from the first machine, given it is  defective is as follows:

\\ P(F|D)*P(D) = P(D|F)*P(F)

\\ P(F|D) = \frac{P(D|F)*P(F)}{P(D)}

\\ P(F|D) = \frac{0.02*0.40}{0.032}

\\ P(F|D) = 0.25 or 25%.

Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

First Machine(M1) Produces 40% of the product.

P(M1)=40%=0.4

The first Machine Produces defective product(D) 2% of the Time.

P(D)=2%=0.02

Given a defective product(D), we want to find the probability that it was produced on the first machine(M1).

P(M1|D)=P(M1∩D)/P(D)

=(0.4 X 0.02)/0.02

=0.4

Graph the function y = |8 - 2x| + 3. Which is a point on the function? (6.2, 7.4) (7.8, 11.2) (8.6, 6.8) (9.6, 7.3)
Fiesta28 [93]
For this case we have the following function:
 y = | 8 - 2x | + 3&#10;
 The first thing you should do is graph the function to see the behavior.
 When observing the graph (in the attached image) we observe that the following point belongs to the graph:
 (6.2, 7.4)&#10;
 To prove it, let's evaluate the point in the function:
 7.4 = l 8 - 2 (6.2) l + 3&#10;&#10;7.4 = l 8 - 12.4 l + 3&#10;&#10;7.4 = l -4.4 l + 3&#10;&#10;7.4 = 7.4
 The equation is fulfilled and therefore the point belongs to the graph.
 Answer:
 
(6.2, 7.4)

Sauron [17]

5.25 / .85 you would get 6.17~ but you cant sell 1/4th a cup, so you have to round up, making it 7 cups.
