Three methods, A, B and C, are available for teaching a certain industrial skill. The failure rate is 15% for A, 5% for B and 10

% for C. The method A is used 30%, B is used 40% and C is used 30% of the time. A worker is taught the skill by one of the methods but fails to learn it correctly. a. (10 points) What is the probability that he was taught by method A? b. (5 points) What is the probability of B given A?

Answer:

a) so the correct answer is that the probability that method A has been taught is 0.4737

b) the probability that B receives A is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

With the previous data we know that 3 methods teach an industrial skill and when putting into practice a worker does not learn, we have the failure rates like this:

method A fails 15%

method B fails: 5%

method C fails: 10%

usage percentages:

A: 30%

B: 40%

C: 30%

a) the probability that method A has been taught is as follows:

P (failure rate) = P (A) * P (failure rate A) + P (B) * P (failure rate B) + P (C) * P (failure rate C)

we replace the data obtaining:

P = 0.3 * 0.15 + 0.4 * 0.05 + 0.3 * 0.1 = 0.095

P ( failure rate A) = P (A) * P (failure rate A) / P (failure rate)

we replace the data obtaining:

 0.3 * 0.15 / 0.095 = 0.4737

so the correct answer is that the probability that method A has been taught is 0.4737

b) the probability that B receives A is as follows:

P (B | A) = P (B) = 0.50

Alecsey [184]
1/3x -11 = 4+x is what we start with, then add 11 to both sides, then subtract x from both sides. Then when we divide both sides by -2/3, x will equal -22.5.

<h3>Answer: (-infinity, 7]</h3>

=====================================

Explanation:

The first interval (-infinity, 3) describes any number less than 3, so we can write x < 3 in short hand (where x is the unknown number).

The second interval (-1, 7] means we start at -1 and stop at 7. We do not include -1 but include 7. So we say that -1 < x \le 7 (ie x is between -1 and 7; exclude -1, include 7)

If you were to graph each ona number line, you would see that the too intervals have overlapping parts. The right most edge extends out as far as x = 7. There is no left most edge as it goes onforever that direction.

Therefore, the to intervals combine to get x \le 7 which turns into the interval notation answer of (-infinity, 7]

-----------

It might help to think of it like this: x < 3 and -1 < x \le 7 say "x is some number that is less than 3, or it is between -1 and 7". So x could be anything less than 7, including 7 itself.
