A manufacturing process produces integrated circuit chips. Over the long run the fraction of bad chips produced by the process i

s around 20%. Thoroughly testing a chip to determine whether it is good or bad is rather expensive, so a cheap test is tried. All good chips will pass the cheap test, but so will 10% of the bad chips.
Given that a chip passes the test, what is the probability that the chip was defective?

Answer:

0.0244 (2.44%)

Step-by-step explanation:

defining the event T= the chips passes the tests , then

P(T)= probability that the chip is not defective * probability that it passes the test given that is not defective  + probability that the chip is defective * probability that it passes the test given that is defective = 0.80 * 1 + 0.20 * 0.10 = 0.82

for conditional probability we can use the theorem of Bayes. If we define the event D=the chip was defective , then

P(D/T)=P(D∩T)/P(T) = 0.20 * 0.10/0.82=  0.0244 (2.44%)

where

P(D∩T)=probability that the chip is defective and passes the test

P(D/T)=probability that the chip is defective given that it passes the test

Consuela and her three friends order 2 pizzas. Consuela cuts each pizza into 8 equal slices. She saves 2 slices of pizza for her
Akimi4 [234]
Let
x-------------->  the number of slices eating by Consuela  and her <span>three friends

we know that
[total slices]=8*2=16 slices
</span><span>[slices of pizza for her older brother]=2
x=16-2=14 slides
</span><span>Consuela and her friends share the rest of the pizza, each eating the same number of slices---------> 14/4= 3.5 slides of pizza each  (</span><span>this part is not necessary, but it is shown in a didactic way)
</span><span>
the question is 
</span><span>What fraction of the 2 pizzas is left over?
</span>[slices of pizza for her older brother]/[total slices]=2/16=1/8
<span>
the answer is (1/8)

Parallel lines never intersect, therefore, there is one solution
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If parallel lines don't intersect, then there can't be any solutions. An intersection represents a solution.

If this is a true false question, the statement is false.
