Answers (1)

Answer:

            (b)

Hint:

            You must know rules of finding probability

Given:

            Machine A produce 1% defective item, B produce 5%, C produce 7%. Operator A on job for 50% of time B on job for 30% and C on job for 20%

Solution:

A= Event that item produced by operator A

B= Item produced by operator B

C= Item produced by operator C

D=Item produced is defective

\begin{aligned} &P(A)=0.5, P(B)=0.3, P(C)=0.2 \\ &P\left(\frac{D}{A}\right)=0.01, P\left(\frac{D}{B}\right)=0.05, P\left(\frac{D}{C}\right)=0.07 \end{aligned}

Probability of defective item is produced by B

Using Baye’s theorem,

\begin{aligned} &P\left(\frac{B}{D}\right)=\frac{P(B) \cdot P\left(\frac{D}{B}\right)}{P(A) \cdot P\left(\frac{D}{A}\right)+P(B) \cdot P\left(\frac{D}{B}\right)+P(C) \cdot P\left(\frac{D}{C}\right)} \\ &=\frac{0.3 \times 0.05}{0.5 \times 0.01+0.3 \times 0.05+0.2 \times 0.07} \\ &=\frac{0.015}{0.005+0.015+0.014} \\ &=\frac{0.015}{0.034} \\ &=\frac{15}{34} \end{aligned}

So, (b) is correct answer
