Answer: (a) 0.006

               (b) 0.027

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : P(AA) = 0.3 and P(AAA) = 0.70

Let event that a bulb is defective be denoted by D and not defective be D';

Conditional probabilities given are :

P(D/AA) = 0.02 and P(D/AAA) = 0.03

Thus P(D'/AA) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98

and P(D'/AAA) = 1 - 0.03 = 0.97

(a) P(bulb from AA and defective) = P ( AA and D)

                                                       = P(AA) x P(D/AA)

                                                       = 0.3 x 0.02 = 0.006

(b) P(Defective) = P(from AA and defective) + P( from AAA and defective)

                         = P(AA) x P(D/AA) + P(AAA) x P(D/AAA)

                         = 0.3(0.02) + 0.70(0.03)

                         = 0.027

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

(5/12)d - (23/36)g

Step-by-step explanation:

First you can eliminate g and -g to get (1/6)d - (3/4)g + (1/9)g + (1/4)d. Then you need to get common denominators to add like terms together.

1/6 = 4/24 and 1/4 = 6/24. Add them together to get (10/24)d or (5/12)d.

-3/4 = -27/36 and 1/9 = 4/36. Add them together to get (-23/36)g.

So in standard form, (5/12)d - (23/36)g
