A machine produces parts that are either defect free (90%), slightly defective (3%), or obviously defective (7%). Prior to shipm

ent produced parts are passed through an automatic inspection machine, which is supposed to be able to detect any part that is obviously defective and discard it. However, the inspection machine is not perfect. A part is incorrectly identified as defective and discarded 2% of the time that a defect free part is input. Slightly defective parts are marked as defective and discarded 40% of the time, and obviously defective parts are correctly identified and discarded 98% of the time.
Required:
a. What is the total probability that a part is marked as defective and discarded by the automatic inspection machine?
b. What is the probability that a part is 'good' (either defect free or slightly defective) given that it makes it through the inspection machine and gets shipped?
c. What is the probability that a part is 'bad' (obviously defective) given that it makes it through the inspection machine and gets shipped?

Answer:

(a) 0.0686

(b) 0.9984

(c) 0.0016

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a machine produces parts that are either defect free (90%), slightly defective (3%), or obviously defective (7%).

Let A, B, and C be the events of defect-free, slightly defective, and the defective parts produced by the machine.

So, from the given data:

P(A)=0.90, P(B)=0.03, and P(C)=0.07.

Let E be the event that the part is disregarded by the inspection machine.

As a part is incorrectly identified as defective and discarded 2% of the time that a defect free part is input.

So, P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)=0.02

Now, from the conditional probability,

P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)=\frac{P(E\cap A)}{P(A)}

\Rightarrow P(E\cap A)=P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)\times P(A)

\Rightarrow P(E\cap A)=0.02\times 0.90=0.018\cdots(i)

This is the probability of disregarding the defect-free parts by inspection machine.

Similarly,

P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)=0.40

and \Rightarrow P(E\cap B)=0.40\times 0.03=0.012\cdots(ii)

This is the probability of disregarding the partially defective parts by inspection machine.

P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)=0.98

and \Rightarrow P(E\cap C)=0.98\times 0.07=0.0686\cdots(iii)

This is the probability of disregarding the defective parts by inspection machine.

(a) The total probability that a part is marked as defective and discarded by the automatic inspection machine

=P(E\cap C)

= 0.0686 [from equation (iii)]

(b) The total probability that the parts produced get disregarded by the inspection machine,

P(E)=P(E\cap A)+P(E\cap B)+P(E\cap C)

\Rightarrow P(E)=0.018+0.012+0.0686

\Rightarrow P(E)=0.0986

So, the total probability that the part produced get shipped

=1-P(E)=1-0.0986=0.9014

The probability that the part is good (either defect free or slightly defective)

=\left(P(A)-P(E\cap A)\right)+\left(P(B)-P(E\cap B)\right)

=(0.9-0.018)+(0.03-0.012)

=0.9

So, the probability that a part is 'good' (either defect free or slightly defective) given that it makes it through the inspection machine and gets shipped

=\frac{\text{Probabilily that shipped part is 'good'}}{\text{Probability of total shipped parts}}

=\frac{0.9}{0.9014}

=0.9984

(c) The probability that the 'bad' (defective} parts get shipped

=1- the probability that the 'good' parts get shipped

=1-0.9984

=0.0016

To get a B in​ math, Alexandria Pappas must average 80 on five tests. Scores on the first four tests were 83​, 74​, 84​, and 77.
Paraphin [41]
First you would add up all four tests scores and then divide the final answer by 4 because there was a total of four tests. Therefore Alexandria can get a score of 79.5% or higher is she wants to average with an 80% on all tests. Hope this helps.

Four times a number increased by one is between a negative seven and thirteen. Find all numbers.
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

four times the number:

4x

If the exprression is increased by 1, it will become:

4x+1

If the value is between -7 and 13, the value of x will be within the range [-6, 12]

Equating the resulting expression to each end point.

At end point of -6

4x+1 = -6

4x = -6-1

4x = -7

x = -7/4

At the end point of 12:

4x+1 = 12

4x = 12-1

4x = 11

x = 11/4

Hence all the numbers will be within the range [-7/4, 11/4] or -7/4≤x≤11/4
