Factories A and B produce computers. Factory A produces 3 times as many computers as factory B. The probability that an item pro

duced by factory A is defective is 0.03 and the probability that an item produced by factory B is defective is 0.045. A computer is selected at random and it is found to be defective. What is the probability it came from factory A?

Answer:

P(A∣D) = 0.667

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

P(A) = 3P(B)

P(D|A) = 0.03

P(D|B) = 0.045

Now, we want to find P(A∣D) which is the posterior probability that a computer comes from factory A when given that it is defective.

Using Bayes' Rule and Law of Total Probability, we will get;

P(A∣D) = [P(A) * P(D|A)]/[(P(A) * P(D|A)) + (P(B) * P(D|B))]

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

P(A∣D) = [3P(B) * 0.03]/[(3P(B) * 0.03) + (P(B) * 0.045)]

P(A∣D) = [P(B)/P(B)] [0.09]/[0.09 + 0.045]

P(B) will cancel out to give;

P(A∣D) = 0.09/0.135

P(A∣D) = 0.667

Find the missing factor.<br> 7s^2 + + 13s + 6 = (7s + 6)<br> )
Anton [14]

Answer:

71s

Step-by-step explanation:

The question we have at hand is 7s² + ___ + 13s + 6² = (7s + 6)². We can expand the perfect equation " (7s + 6)² " in order to find our solution. A perfect square consists of 3 terms, and hence the term in the blanks must add to 13s to form another term.

Applying the perfect square formula : ( a + b )² = a² + 2ab + b², let's expand the expression,

(7s + 6)² = ( 7s )² + 2( 7s )( 6 ) + ( 6 )² =  7s² + 84s + 6²

84s - 13s = 71s, which fills in the blank provided.

For which of the following inequalities is x≥4 a solution.<br> x+3≥1<br> 3x≥1<br> x-3≥1
pychu [463]

Answer:

x - 3 ≥ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving each of the inequalities

x + 3 ≥ 1 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x ≥ - 2

3x ≥ 1 ( divide each inequality by 3 )

x ≥ \frac{1}{3}

x - 3 ≥ 1 ( add 3 to both sides )

x ≥ 4 ← required solution

Help me please that’s easy but....

Let's resolve the powers of 10 to make them comparable

47000

45000

5000

280000

125000

Now you can see the largest is 280000 and the smallest is 5000

Their difference is 280000 - 5000 = 275000
