Using Bayes' theorem, the posterior probability is P(H|E) = [P(E|H) * P(H)] / [P(E|H) * P(H) + P(E|¬H) * P(¬H)]. With two detections and one non-detection, P(E|H) = (0.8^2)(0.2), P(E|¬H) = (0.1), P(H) = 0.4, P(¬H) = 0.6. Calculate to find posterior probability ≈ 0.721.
To find this probability, we would need additional information about the number or percentage of surface defects among nonconforming cans for each line. Without this data, the probability is undetermined based solely on the given text.
The probability all ten have different birthdays is a combinatorial calculation: P(all different) = (365/365) * (364/365) * ... * (356/365). This equals approximately 0.883.
Since A and B are independent, P(A and B) = P(A)P(B) = 0.144, and P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - 0.144 = 0.626. Solving these equations, find P(A) = 0.4 and P(B) = 0.36.
Given a fastener passed inspection, the probability it passed initially is: P(Initial | Passed) = P(Passed | Initial) * P(Initial) / P(Passed). P(Passed | Initial) = 1, and P(Initial) = 0.95, P(Passed) = 0.974. P(Initial | Passed) = 0.95 / 0.974 ≈ 0.9756 or 97.56%.
Given P(B | A) = P(A ∩ B) / P(A) and that both components function is 0.75 and at least one does is 0.96, we need P(A). Here, P(A ∩ B) = 0.75. To find P(A), use independence assumption: P(A and ¬B) = P(A) - 0.75. Since P(¬B) = 1 - P(B) = 0.1 (from ¬B = 0.9 B working), set equation: 0.96 = P(A) + P(B) - 0.75. Thus, P(A) determined and hence P(B | A).
95% of fasteners pass initially. Of the 5% that fail initial inspection, 80% are not scrapped and go to recrimping, where 60% pass. Thus, 0.05 * 0.8 * 0.6 = 0.024 or 2.4% pass after recrimping. Therefore, the total probability is 0.95 + 0.024 = 0.974 or 97.4%.
The probability that a randomly selected nonconforming can was produced by line 1 is calculated by dividing the number of nonconforming cans from line 1 by the total number of nonconforming cans produced by all lines. Line 1 produced 500 nonconforming cans out of a total of 1500 (500 from line 1, 400 from line 2, 600 from line 3). Therefore, the probability is 500/1500 = 1/3 or approximately 0.333.
This is famously known as the birthday problem. Using the complement probability, find k such that P(at least two sharing) = 1 - P(None sharing) ≥ 0.5. It is determined through calculation that k ≈ 23.
