A machine produces small cans that are used for baked beans. The probabil- ity that the can is in perfect shape is 0.9. The prob

ability of the can having an unnoticeable dent is 0.02. The probability that the can is obviously dented is 0.08. Produced cans get passed through an automatic inspection machine, which is able to detect obviously dented cans and discard them. What is the probability that a can that gets shipped for use will be of perfect shape?

Answer:

0.9783 = 97.83% probability that a can that gets shipped for use will be of perfect shape

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

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

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Shipped for use

Event B: Perfect shape

Probability of being shipped for use:

Perfect shape(0.9 probability) or unnoticeable dent(0.02 probability). So

P(A) = 0.9 + 0.02 = 0.92

Being shipped for use and being in perfect shape.

0.9 probability, so P(A \cap B) = 0.9

What is the probability that a can that gets shipped for use will be of perfect shape?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.9}{0.92} = 0.9783

0.9783 = 97.83% probability that a can that gets shipped for use will be of perfect shape

Elena has 35 magazine subscriptions to sell. Each magazine subscription costs $8.50. Elena sold 17 magazine subscriptions on Fri
KengaRu [80]
Answer : The answer is $153.00 from selling magazine subscriptions on Saturday.

Explanation : We know that each magazine is equal to $8.50. At first she sold 17 of the 35 magazines. 17 x $8.50 = $144.50 from selling 17 magazines. Now we do 35-17 to get how many magazines are left. So there is 18 magazines left. We need to do the same thing we did before, 18 x $8.50 = $153.00. She got $153.00 from selling 18 magazines on Saturday.

1. Draw an appropriate Venn diagram to depict each of the following sets. U = The set of integers. A = The set of even integers.
CaHeK987 [17]

The attached diagram represents the Venn diagram of the sets

<h3>How to draw the Venn diagram?</h3>

The sets are given as:

  • The universal set, U = The set of integers.
  • A = The set of even integers.
  • B = The set of odd integers.
  • C = The set of multiples of 3.
  • D= The set of prime numbers

From the above representation, we have the following highlights:

  • Set A and set B will not intersect, because no number can be even and odd
  • Set C and set D will intersect set A because they have common elements 6 and 2, respectively
  • Set C and set D will intersect set B because they have common elements 3 and 3, respectively

Using the above highlights, we can now draw the Venn diagram

See attachment for the Venn diagram
