Factories A, B and C produce computers. Factory A produces 4 times as manycomputers as factory C, and factory B produces 7 times

as many computers asfactory C. The probability that a computer produced by factory A is defective is0.04, the probability that a computer produced by factory B is defective is 0.02,and the probability that a computer produced by factory C is defective is 0.03. Acomputer is selected at random and found to be defective. What is the probabilityit came from factory A?

Answer:

The  probability is   P(A') =  0.485

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that the number of computer produced by factory C is  k = 1  

 So  From the  question we are told that

       The number produced by  factory A is  4k =  4

        The  number produced by factory B is  7k  = 7

        The  probability of defective computers from A is  P(A) =  0.04

        The  probability of defective computers from B is  P(B)  =  0.02

        The  probability of defective computers from C is P(C) =  0.03

Now the probability of factory A producing a defective computer out of the 4 computers produced is  

       P(a) =  4 *  P(A)

substituting values

        P(a) =  4 * 0.04

        P(a) = 0.16

The probability of factory B producing a defective computer out of the 7 computers produced is  

       P(b) = 7  *  P(B)

substituting values

        P(b) =  7 * 0.02

        P(b) = 0.14

The probability of factory C producing a defective computer out of the 1 computer produced is  

       P(c) = 1  *  P(C)

substituting values

        P(c) =  1 * 0.03

        P(b) = 0.03

So the probability that the a computer produced from the three factory will be defective is  

     P(t) =  P(a) +  P(b) +  P(c)

substituting values

     P(t) =   0.16  + 0.14 +  0.03

     P(t) =   0.33

Now the probability that the defective computer is produced from factory A is

      P(A') =  \frac{P(a)}{P(t)}

       P(A') =  \frac{ 0.16}{0.33}

        P(A') =  0.485

Well they probably are relating to math terms

7 after 8

Or 5 til 8

Or they just show off that they know how to say “5 after 3”

What is the value of x? 6.75 + 3/8 x = 13 1/4
wolverine [178]
6.75 + 3x/8 = 13.25
3x/8 =13.25 - 6.75
3x/8 = 6.5
3X = 6.5 x 8
3x = 52
x= 52/3

So your answer would be 52/3 :)

Answer:

X = 1h15mins

Step-by-step explanation:

      Rate Time  Distance  

Morgan  20    X              20X

Corona  25  X – ¼  25(X – ¼)  

If they meet each other, they need to travle the same distance, mean :  

20X = 25(X – ¼)  

X = 1.25
