. A factory manufactures widgets using three machines, A, B, and C. Of the total output, machine A is responsible for 30%, machi

ne B for 20%, and machine C for the rest. It is known from previous experience with the machines that 10% of the output from machine A is defective, 5% from machine B, and 3% from machine C. A bolt is chosen at random from the production line and found to be defective. What is the probability that it came from machine A? Round your final answers to three decimal places.

Answer:

0.545 = 54.5% probability that it came from machine A

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Defective.

Event B: Coming from machine A.

Machine A is responsible for 30%

This means that P(B) = 0.3

10% of the output from machine A is defective

This means that P(B|A) = 0.1

Probability of being defective:

Machine A is responsible for 30%. Of those, 10% are defective.

Machine B is responsible for 20%. Of those, 5% are defective.

Machine C is responsible for 100 - (30+20) = 50%. Of those, 3% are defective. Then

P(A) = 0.3*0.1 + 0.2*0.05 + 0.5*0.03 = 0.055

Finally:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.3*0.1}{0.055} = 0.545

0.545 = 54.5% probability that it came from machine A

The samples he chose may not be a representative sample because the number of students per foreign language class may not be the same. One class may have a very large number of students while another may have only a few. Taking equal number of students per class is not a representative sample.<span />

60 is what percent of 48?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

80%

Inverted = 125%

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the fraction to the most simpliest number, which is 4/5. 4/5 = 80%.

If it’s inverted (as in 60/48), the most simpliest number is 5/4. 5/4 = 125%.

0. The weight of an object on the Moon is about 16.5% of its weight on Earth. The weight of an astronaut on the Moon is 24.75 po
Setler79 [48]

Answer: 150 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the the astronaut weight on Earth be represented by x.

Based on the information given in the question, thus can be formed into an equation as:

16.5% of x = 24.75

16.5% × x = 24.75

16.5/100 × x = 24.75

0.165x = 24.75

x = 24.75/0.165

x = 150 pounds

The astronaut weigh 150 pounds on Earth.
