Show all of your work. No credit will be given if there is no work. Simplify if possible, unless noted.
Setup:
• Suppose the probability of a part being manufactured by Machine A is 0.4
• Suppose the probability that a part was manufactured by Machine A and the part is defective is 0.12
• Suppose the probability that a part was NOT manufactured by Machine A and the part IS defective is 0.14
Questions To Answer: 1. (2 pts) Find the probability that a part is defective given that it was made by Machine A.
2. (2 pts) Find the probability that a part is defective.
3. (4 pts) Are the states of a part being made by Machine A and being defective independent? Circle your answer and state your reason. YES, they are independent NO, they are NOT independent Reason:
4. (2 pts) Find the probability that Machine A produced a specific part, given that the part was defective. Round your final answer to 2 decimals, if needed.
a)
It is given that
the probability of a part being manufactured by Machine A is 0.4
Let us consider it as P(A)=0.4
using the sum of probabilities we will find the probability of part not being manufactured by machine A which is taken as
the probability that a part was manufactured by Machine A and the part is defective is 0.12
probability that a part was NOT manufactured by Machine A and the part is defective is 0.14
We have to determine the probability that a part is defective given that it was made by Machine A.
That will be P(D/A)
Use the conditional probability formula
2)
We have to find the probability that part is defective
Probability that part is defective is 0.132
3)
We have to check weather part manufactured by machine A and being defective are independent or not.
For independent it should follow the rule of probability
P(D and A)=P(D).P(A)=P(D/A).P(A)
P(D and A)=0.12
P(D)=0.132
P(D/A)=0.3
Here
P(A)=0.4
So part being defective and produced by machine A are not independent of each other
d)
We have to find that machine A produces specific part and it is given that being defective
We have to find that
