A certain plant runs three shifts per day. Of all the items produced by the plant, 50% of them are produced on the first shift,

30% on the second shift, and 20% on the third shift. Of all the items produced on the first shift, 1% are defective, while 2% of the items produced on the second shift and 3% of the items produced on the third shift are defective. An item is sampled at random from the day's production, and it turns out to be defective. What is the probability that it was manufactured during the first shift

Answer:

0.2941 = 29.41% probability that it was manufactured during the first shift.

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: Defective

Event B: Manufactured during the first shift.

Probability of a defective item:

1% of 50%(first shift)

2% of 30%(second shift)

3% of 20%(third shift).

So

P(A) = 0.01*0.5 + 0.02*0.3 + 0.03*0.2 = 0.017

Probability of a defective item being produced on the first shift:

1% of 50%. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.01*0.5 = 0.005

What is the probability that it was manufactured during the first shift?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.005}{0.017} = 0.2941

0.2941 = 29.41% probability that it was manufactured during the first shift.

A student wanted to find the sum of all the even numbers from 1 to 100. He said:
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The statements are incorrect as: The sum of even numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2550) is not double\twice of the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2500).

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that sum of an Arithmetic Progression(A.P.) is given by:

where 'n' denotes the "number" of digits whose sum is to be determined, 'a' denotes the first digit of the series and '' denote last digit of the series.

Now the sum of even numbers i.e. 2+4+6+8+....+100 is given by the use of sum of the arithmetic progression since the series is an A.P. with a common difference of 2.

image with explanation

Hence, sum of even numbers from 1 to 100 is 2550.

Also the series of odd numbers is an A.P. with a common difference of 2.

sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100 is given by: 1+3+5+....+99

.

Hence, the sum of all the odd numbers from 1 to 100 is 2500.

Clearly the sum of even numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2550) is not double of the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2500).

Hence the statement is incorrect.

Graph C is the correct option.

If you drew a straight line (mostly) connecting the points, it would be linear. A relationship is linear if one variable, in this case, x, increases by approximately the same rate as the other variables, in this case y.

If you drew lines connecting points on the other graphs, they wouldn’t resemble a straight line, therefore, they aren’t linear.

plz help me The temperature at noon was 22°. From 6 AM until noon, the temperature changed by an average of 5° per hour. What WA
nevsk [136]

Answer:

-8° OR 52°

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember 22.

Now, you'll need to take 12 PM and see how many hours it is from 6 AM to 12 PM noon: 6-7, 7-8, 8-9, 9-10, 10-11, 11-12. We have 6 hours from 6 AM to 12 PM.

The problem gives us the average number of degrees it changed: 5. Since it doesn't specify HOW it changed, there are 2 answers.

In order to find the number of degrees it changed, we have to take the hours times the amount given, or in this case, 6 x 5 which equals 30.

Now that we know the fluxation number, we can either add or subtract 30 from the degrees given at noon.

So, 22 - 30 = <em>-8</em> AND 22 + 30 = <em>50</em>.

I hope that helps! :)
