1.There are three machines In a factory. Machine A produces 60% of the items, 5% of all items produced by machine A is defective; machine B produces 10% of which 1% are defective, and machine C produces 30% of which 2% are defective. An item is selected at random from a day’s production of 1000 items. What is probability that the item is defective? An item is selected at random from a day’s production of 1000 items and is found to be defective. What is probability that this defective item is produced by machine A?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Of the 1000 items

1) Machine A has produced 600 of which 30(5%) are defective

2) Machine B has produced 100 of which 1(1%) is defective

3) Machine C has produced 300 of which 6(2%) are defective

Probability that items is defective = Defective Items/Total Items = (30+1+6)/1000 = 37/1000 = .037

If an item selected in defective, probability that it is produced by A = Defective items produced by A/total defective items = 30/37 = 0.81

Think of a a factory three sewing machines. If one worker is added to the third vacant sewing machine, output will go up by quite a bit (exponentially). However, once we add workers after all sewing machines are utiilized, output will still go up. The fourth worker will cut the material, clean up, fill in for breaks. But output, while still going up, will increase in smaller and smaller increments. With the law of diminishing returns, capital and technology must...

A steel factory produces iron rods that are supposed to be 36 inches long. The machine that makes these rods does not produce each rod exactly 36 inches long. The lengths of these rods vary slightly. It is known that when the machine is working properly, the mean length of the rods is 36 inches. According to design, the standard deviation of the lengths of all rods produced on this machine is always equal to .05 inches. The quality control...
