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

If a patient needs 30 days supply of tablet two tablets four times a day how many tablets with a patient need for discharge
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Total number of tablets needs to discharge = 240 tables

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of days tablet need = 30 days

Number of times per days need = 4 times

Number of tablet per time = 2 tablet

Find:

Total number of tablets needs to discharge = ?

Computation:

⇒ Total number of tablets needs to discharge = Number of days tablet need × Number of times per days need × Number of tablet per time

⇒ Total number of tablets needs to discharge = 30 × 4 × 2

⇒ Total number of tablets needs to discharge = 240 tables

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

a. €1200;$1667.70

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Number of euros

\text{euros} = \$1962 \times \dfrac{\text{1 euro}}{\text{\$1.635}}  = \textbf{1200 euros}

b. Dollars remaining

Dollars on hand                        = $1962.00

Less 15 % spent = 0.15 × 1962 = <u>   -294.30</u>

Balance remaining                   =  $1667.70

Based on the measures provided in the diagram, determine the measure of AEG
MArishka [77]

Answer:

277°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of arc AEG = AB + BE + EF + FG

The central angle is congruent to the arc that subtends it

∠ ECB = 180° - 44° = 136° ( adjacent angles )

∠ECF = ∠ ACB = 44° ( vertical angles ), thus

AEG = 44° + 136° + 44° + 53° = 277°

How do you solve this triangle by using the law of sine where
mars1129 [50]
Actually, when you know 2 sides and an included angle, you use the Law of Cosines. (and we don't know if theta is an included angle).
Solving for side c
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab * cos(C)
c^2 = 36 + 16 - 2*6*4 * cos(60)
c^2 = 52 -48*.5
c^2 = 28
c = 5.2915

Using the Law of Sines
side c / sin(C) = side b / sin (B)
5.2915 / sin(60) = 4 / sin (B)
sin(B) = sin(60) * 4 / 5.2915
sin(B) = 0.86603 * 4 / 5.2915
<span><span>sin(B) = 3.46412 </span> / 5.2915
</span> <span><span><span>sin(B) = 0.6546571451 </span> </span> </span> 
Angle B = 40.894 Degrees

sin (A) / side a = sin (B) / side b
sin (A) = 6 * sin (40.894) / 4
sin (A) = 6 * 0.65466 / 4
sin (A) = .98199
angle A = 79.109 Degrees

angle C = 60 Degrees
