In a Bolt factory, machines A, B and C manufacture respectively 25%, 35% and 40% . Of the total of their outputs 5,4 and 2 % are defective bolts. A bolt is drawn at random from the product and is found to be defective. What is the probability that it was manufactured by machines A, B and C ?
Q//1. (i) not more than three will be busy?
answer:
(i) not more than three will be busy?
answer:
Solve for P(x<=3) = P(x=0) + P(x=1)+ P(x=2)+P(x=3)
using formula nCr * (p)^r * (q)^n-r
where n= 6 , p = 1/15 and q= 14/15
P(x<=3) = [1-P(x≥3)]+P(x=3)
P(x<=3) =0.99492+[6C3 * (1/15)^3 * (14/15)^3]
P(x<=3) =0.99492+0.00481=0.99973
(ii) at least three of them will be busy ?
Answer: P(x≥3) = P(x=3) + P(x=4)+ P(x=5)+P(x=6)
P(x≥3)= P(x=3) + P(x=4)+ P(x=5)+P(x=6)
P(x≥3)=[6C3 * (1/15)^3 * (14/15)^3 ]+[6C4 * (1/15)^4 * (14/15)^2 ]+[6C5 * (1/15)^5 * (14/15)^1 ]+[6C6 * (1/15)^6 * (14/15)^0 ]
P(x≥3)=0.00508
