g Suppose a factory production line uses 3 machines, A, B, and C for making bolts. The total output from the line is distributed

as follows: A produces 25%, B produces 35%, and C produces 40%. The defect rate for A is 5%, B is 4%, and C is 2%. If a bolt chosen at random is found to be defective, what is the probability that it came from machine A

Answer:

The probability that it came from A, given that is defective is 0.362.

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the events:

A: The element comes from A.

B: The element comes from B.

C: The element comes from C.

D: The elemens is defective.

We are given that P(A) = 0.25, P(B) = 0.35, P(C) = 0.4. Recall that since the element comes from only one of the machines, if an element is defective, it comes either from A, B or C. Using the probability axioms, we can calculate that

P(D) = P(A\cap D) + P(B\cap D) + P(C\cap D)

Recall that given events E,F the conditional probability of E given F is defined as

P(E|F) = \frac{P(E\cap F)}{P(F)}, from where we deduce that

P(E\cap F) = P(E|F)P(F).

We are given that given that the element is from A, the probability of being defective is 5%. That is P(D|A) =0.05. Using the previous analysis we get that

P(D) = P(A)P(D|A)+P(B) P(D|B) + P(C)P(D|C) = 0.05\cdot 0.25+0.04\cdot 0.35+0.02\cdot 0.4 = 0.0345

We are told to calculate P(A|D), then using the formulas we have

P(A|D) = \frac{P(A\cap D)}{P(D)}= \frac{P(D|A)P(A)}{P(D)}= \frac{0.05\cdot 0.25}{0.0345}= 0.36231884

for events A and B, P(A)= 3/14 and P(B)= 1/5. Also, P(A and B)= 3/65. Are A and B independent events?
Lady_Fox [76]

No, A and B are not independent events

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us study the meaning independent probability  

  • Two events are independent if the result of the second event is not  affected by the result of the first event
  • If A and B are independent events, the probability of both events  is the product of the probabilities of the both events  P (A and B) = P(A) · P(B)

∵ P(A) = \frac{3}{14}

∵ P(B) = \frac{1}{5}

∴ P(A) . P(B) = \frac{3}{14} × \frac{1}{5}

∴ P(A) . P(B) = \frac{3(1)}{14(5)}

∴ P(A) . P(B) = \frac{3}{70}

∵ P(A and B) = \frac{3}{65}

∵ P(A) . P(B) = \frac{3}{70}

- The two answers are not equal

∴ P (A and B) ≠ P(A) · P(B)

- In independent events P (A and B) = P(A) · P(B)

∴ A and B are not independent events

No, A and B are not independent events

The equation for the horizontal line that contains the point E(3, –4)?
Effectus [21]
The slope of a  horizontal line will have a value equal to 0: 
m=0
Point-slope form of a line: we need a point (x₀,y₀) and the slope "m".
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)

We have a point ( E(3,-4) ) and the slope of this line (m=0); therefore:y
y+4=0(x-3=
y+4=0
y=-4

Answer: the equation for the horizontal line that contains the point E, would be:
y=-4
