In a certain assembly plant, three machines, B1, B2, B3, make 30%, 45%, and 25%, respectively, of the products. It is known from past experience that 2%, 3%, and 2% of the products made by each machine, respectively, are defective.
A. Suppose that a finished product is randomly selected. What is the probability that it is defective?
B. If a product were chosen randomly and found to be defective, what is the probability that it was made by machine B3.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. The probability that the finished product selected is defective is 2.45%.

b. The probability that product chosen randomly was defective and made by machine B3 is 20.41%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represents the defective product.

We also have the following from the question:

P(B1) = Probability or percentage of the made by machine B1 = 30%, or 0.30

P(B2) = Probability or percentage of the made by machine B2 = 45%, or 0,45

P(B3) = Probability or percentage of the made by machine B3 = 25%, or 0.25

P(A/B1) = Probability or percentage of product B1 that is defective = 2%, or 0.02

P(A/B2) = Probability or percentage of product B2 that is defective = 3%, or 0.03

P(A/B3) = Probability or percentage of product B3 that is defective = 2%, or 0.02

We can therefore proceed as follows:

A. Suppose that a finished product is randomly selected. What is the probability that it is defective?

To determine this, the rules of elimination is applied and we have:

P(A) = (P(B1) * P(A/B1)) + (P(B2) * P(A/B2)) + (P(B3) * P(A/B3)) ………… (1)

Where;

P(A) = Probability that the selected product is defective = ?

Substitutes the values defined above into equation (1), we have:

P(A) = (0.30 * 0.02) + (0.45 * 0.03) + (0.25 * 0.02)

P(A) = 0.006 + 0.0135 + 0.005

P(A) = 0.0245, or 2.45%

Therefore, the probability that the finished product selected is defective is 2.45%.

B. If a product were chosen randomly and found to be defective, what is the probability that it was made by machine B3.

To calculate this, the Bayes’ rule is employed as follows:

P(B3/A) = (P(B3) * P(A/B3)) / [(P(B1) * P(A/B1)) + (P(B2) * P(A/B2)) + (P(B3) * P(A/B3))] = (P(B3) * P(A/B3)) / P(A)  ………….... (2)

Where;

P(B3/A) = The probability that product chosen randomly was defective and made by machine B3 = ?

Also, from the values already defined and obtained in part A, we have:

P(B3) = 0.25

P(A/B3) = 0.002

P(A) = 0.0245

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

P(B3/A) = (0.25 * 0.02) / 0.0245

P(B3/A) = 0.005 / 0.0245

P(B3/A) = 0.2041, or 20.41%

Therefore, the probability that product chosen randomly was defective and made by machine B3 is 20.41%.

does the equation 4(2x+3)=16x+12-8x have one solution, infinitely many solutions, no solution, or two solutions.

Answers

Answer:

Infinite number of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Use distributive property to eliminate the parenthesis on the left:

8 x + 12 = 16 x + 12 - 8 x

combine like terms on the right:

8x+ 12 = 8 x + 12

subtract 12 from both sides

8 x = 8 x   (notice both sides are identical)

subtract 8 x  from both sides

0 = 0

This is a true statement that takes place for whatever x-value we use in the original equation. Therefore, the equation has infinite number of solutions (any real number "x")

account after 6 years, assuming no money was

Answers

Answer:

17600

Step-by-step explanation:

calculator

Based on the amount of money being saved and the amount of time it will be saved, the amount in the account after 6 years would be $6,166.51

The interest is compounded monthly which means that you need to convert the interest to a monthly figure as well as the number of years you will be investing:

3.5% / 12 months = 3.5/12%

6 years x 12 = 72 months

The amount after 6 years is:

= Amount x (1 + rate) ^ number of periods

= 5,000 x (1 + 3.5/12%)⁷²

= $6,166.51

In conclusion, the amount in the account after 6 years is $6,166.51.

What is division?

The division in mathematics is one kind of operation. In this process, we split the expressions or numbers into the same number of parts.

Given:

25 students are working in groups on a science project, age group can have either two or three students in it.

To find the fewest number of groups:

25 divided by 3 we get remainder 1.

But 1 student can not form a group.

So, we have to find the remainder number that can form a group or groups.

25 divided by 3,

we get quotient 7 and 4 remainder.

And 4 means, 2 groups of 2 students in each.

That means, the number of groups are 7+2 = 9

Therefore, 9 is the required number.

Two points are selected randomly on a line of length 32 so as to be on opposite sides of the midpoint of the line. In other words, the two points X and Y are independent random variables such that X is uniformly distributed over [0,16) and Y is uniformly distributed over (16,32]. Find the probability that the distance between the two points is greater than 9.

Answers

Solution :

Let us consider the squares be [tex]$[1, 16] \times [16, 32]$[/tex]

If x ranges from the 0 to 16 and the y ranges from 16 to 32, we see that the boundary of the region[tex]$y-x \geq 9 \text{\ is}\ y - x = 9$[/tex]  which goes from the [tex]$(7, 16 ) \text{ to}\ (16, 25) $[/tex].

And so it is easier to find the area of region where [tex]$ y-x \leq 9$[/tex]. This is the triangle with points [tex]$(7,16),(16,25) \text{ and}\ (16,16)$[/tex] as its vertices.

The area if the triangle is =  [tex]$\frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 9$[/tex]

                                         = [tex]$\frac{81}{2}$[/tex]

Now the entire area is [tex]$(16)^2$[/tex]  = 256

Then, [tex]$P(y-x \leq 9) = \frac{81/2}{256} =\frac{81}{512}$[/tex]

or [tex]$P(y-x \geq 9) = 1 - \frac{81}{512}=\frac{431}{512}$[/tex]

Thus the answer is [tex]$\frac{431}{512}$[/tex]

Roots are -2, 3, and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the rational roots test.

Starting with the constant term (24), the roots are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 (both positive and negative).

Starting with 2.

8 - 20 - 4 + 24 = 8 (so 2 is not a root).

Let's try 3.

27 - 45 - 6 + 24 = 0 (so 3 is a root).  (x-3) is a factor.

Now we can divide x3-5x2-2x+24 by x-3 to get a polynomial.

The base of a triangle is nine centimeters longer than the perpendicular height. If the area of the triangle is 180 square centimeters, what is the length of the base, in centimeters?

Answers

Answer:

The base is 24 cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

Let's call

b= base of the triangle

h=height of the triangle

The base is 9 cm longer than the height, thus:

b = h + 9

The area of the triangle is:

[tex]\displaystyle A=\frac{bh}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle A=\frac{(h+9)h}{2}[/tex]

And its value is 180:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{(h+9)h}{2}=180[/tex]

Multiplying by 2:

[tex](h+9)h=360[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]h^2+9h-360=0[/tex]

Factoring:

[tex](h-15)(h+24)=0[/tex]

The only valid positive solution is:

h = 15 cm

And b = h + 9 = 24

b = 24 cm

The base is 24 cm long.
