Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 3 boxes. First box contains 100 components of which 20 % are defective, second box contains 200 components of which 25 % are defective, third box contains 300 components of which 40 % are defective.

Box is selected randomly and from this box one component is selected randomly. The chosen component turned out to be defective.

Here A1, A2 and A3 events from drawing I, II and III box are mutually exclusive and exhaustive

B = The drawn ball is defective

Required probability

a) second box = P(A2/B)

=\frac{P(A_2B)}{P(A_1B+P(A_2B+P(A_3B}

(by Bayes theorem of conditional probability)

= \frac{\frac{1}{3} 0.25}{\frac{1}{3} 0.20)+\frac{1}{3} 0.25)+\frac{1}{3} 0.40)} \\=\frac{25}{85} \\=\frac{5}{17}

b) third box = P(A3/B)

=\frac{\frac{1}{3} 0.40}{\frac{1}{3} 0.20)+\frac{1}{3} 0.25)+\frac{1}{3} 0.40)} \\=\frac{40}{85} \\=\frac{8}{17}

What formula should be used to find the circumference of a circle
Inessa05 [86]
The circumference = π x the diameter of the circle (Pi multiplied by the diameter of the circle). Simply divide the circumference by π and you will have the length of the diameter. The diameter is just the radius times two, so divide the diameter by two and you will have the radius of the circle

How do I solve -5x+2y=6
Olegator [25]
Answer:  x = (2 y)/5 - 6/5 ,  y = (5 x)/2 + 3

Solve for x:
2 y - 5 x = 6
Subtract 2 y from both sides:
-5 x = 6 - 2 y
Divide both sides by -5:
Answer:  x = (2 y)/5 - 6/5
Solve for y:
2 y - 5 x = 6
Add 5 x to both sides:
2 y = 5 x + 6
Divide both sides by 2:
Answer:  y = (5 x)/2 + 3
