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

A young lady started working at In N Out Burger:
kogti [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6. 13/hour

7. R=income/hours worked so 221/17=13. Not sure if that is what they are asking for.

8. Not sure. Is it $13/hour?

9. still guessing but the constant is $13/hour so to determine how many hours need to be worked to reach $1000, you divide. $1000/13=Approximately 77 hours.

Answer:

  2. (only)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the sum of the squares of the two legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. To determine if these are right triangles, determine if that condition is met.

  1. 3^2 +5^2 = 9 + 25 = 34 ≠ (√35)^2 . . . . not a right triangle

  2. 5^2 +4^2 = 25 +16 = 41 = (√41)^2 . . . a right triangle

  3. 6^2 +8^2 = 36 +64 = 100 ≠ (√10)^2 . . . . not a right triangle

  4. 3^2 +3^2 = 9 +9 = 18 ≠ (3√3)^2 = 27 . . . . not a right triangle

5. 18 m 11 m Not drawn to scale 29 m b. 445 m 7 m d. 203 m​
Luden [163]
Answer: D

Explanation: Apply the pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) to get 11^2 + b^2 = 18^2. From that you can solve for b and you get the square root of 203.

Hope this helped! :)
