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

timama [110]

Answer:

  • (16, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rectangle JKLM

As per graph, the rectangle J'K'L'M' is the transformation of JKLM

Based on one of the points we can calculate the transformation rule:

<u>Let's use points K and K'</u>

  • K((-4, -8) → K'(6, -5)
  • 6 - (-4) = 10
  • -5 - (-8) = 3

<u>So the rule is </u>

  • (x', y') → (x + 10, y +3)

<u>Trapezoid STUV:</u>

  • Using point T(6, 4)

<u>Applying same rule:</u>

  • T' = (6 + 10, 4 +3) = (16, 7)
