An aircraft emergency locator transmitter (ELT) is a device designed to transmit a signal in the case of a crash. The ACME Manuf

acturing Company makes 70% of the ELTs, the B. BUNNY Company makes 25% of them, and the W. E. COYOTE Company makes the other 5%. The ELTs made by ACME have a 3.5% rate of defects, the B. BUNNY ELTs have a 5% rate of defects, and the W. E. COYOTE ELTs have a 8% rate of defects (which helps to explain why W. E. COYOTE has the lowest market share)
a) If a locator is randomly selected from the general population of all locators, find the probability that it was made by the ACME Manufacturing Company.b) If a randomly selected locator is then tested and is found to be defective, find the probability that it was made by the ACME Manufacturing Company.

Answer:

a) P(ACME) = 0.7

b) P(ACME/D) = 0.5976

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account that ACME manufacturing company makes 70% of the ELTs, if a locator is randomly selected from the general population, the probability that it was made by ACME manufacturing Company is 0.7. So:

P(ACME) = 0.7

Then, the probability P(ACME/D) that a randomly selected locator was made by ACME given that the locator is defective is calculated as:

P(ACME/D) = P(ACME∩D)/P(D)

Where the probability that a locator is defective is:

P(D) = P(ACME∩D) + P(B. BUNNY∩D) + P(W. E. COYOTE∩D)

So, the probability P(ACME∩D) that a locator was made by ACME and is defective is:

P(ACME∩D) = 0.7*0.035 = 0.0245

Because 0.035 is the rate of defects in ACME

At the same way, P(B. BUNNY∩D) and P(W. E. COYOTE∩D) are equal to:

P(B. BUNNY∩D) = 0.25*0.05 = 0.0125

P(W. E. COYOTE∩D) = 0.05*0.08 = 0.004

Finally, P(D) and P(ACME/D) is equal to:

P(D) = 0.0245 + 0.0125 + 0.004 = 0.041

P(ACME/D) = 0.0245/0.041 = 0.5976

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

30 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d = distance (in miles)

Let t = time (in hours)

Let v = average speed driving <u>to</u> the airport (in mph)

⇒ v + 15 = average speed driving <u>from</u> the airport (in mph)

Using:  distance = speed x time

\implies t=\dfrac{d}{v}

Create two equations for the journey to and from the airport, given that the distance one way is 18 miles:

\implies t=\dfrac{18}{v}  \ \ \textsf{and} \ \  t=\dfrac{18}{v+15}

We are told that the total driving time is 1 hour, so the sum of these expressions equals 1 hour:

\implies \dfrac{18}{v} +\dfrac{18}{v+15}=1

Now all we have to do is solve the equation for v:

\implies \dfrac{18(v+15)}{v(v+15)} +\dfrac{18v}{v(v+15)}=1

\implies \dfrac{18(v+15)+18v}{v(v+15)}=1

\implies 18(v+15)+18v=v(v+15)

\implies 18v+270+18v=v^2+15v

\implies v^2-21v-270=0

\implies (v-30)(v+9)=0

\implies v=30, v=-9

As v is positive, v = 30 only

So the average speed driving to the airport was 30 mph

(and the average speed driving from the airport was 45 mph)
