Answer:
0.5015 = 50.15% probability that it came from manufacturer A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
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: From manufacturer A.
Probability a unit is defective:
2% of 43%(from manufacturer A)
1.5% of 57%(from manufacturer B). So
Probability a unit is defective and from manufacturer A:
2% of 43%. So
What is the probability that it came from manufacturer A?
0.5015 = 50.15% probability that it came from manufacturer A.
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find slope, we use the formula rise over run (y2-y1 over x2-x1)
So first, our y's: 7-5=2
And our x's: 12-4=8
2/8 simplifies to 1/4
X= 14 + 9y over 2
y= -x - 7 over 6
Get the x terms by themselves on one side and a constant on the other side of the equal sign...
4x^2-8x=1 make the leading coefficient equal to one...
x^2-2x=1/4 now halve the linear coefficient, -2 in this case, square it, and add that value to both sides of the equation...-2/2=-1, -1^2=1 so
x^2-2x+1=1+1/4
x^2-2x+1=5/4 now the left side is a perfect square...
(x-1)^2=5/4 take the square root of both sides...
x-1=±√(5/4) add 1 to both sides
x=1±√(5/4)
