A building contractor buys 80% of his cement from supplier A and 20% from supplier B. A total of 80% of the bags from A arrive undamaged, while 85% of the bags from B arrive undamaged. Find the probability that a damaged bag is from supplier B. The probability is (Type an integer or decimal rounded to four decimal places as needed.)
Defective concrete on a construction site can be caused by either poor workmanship (selection and grading of material, pouring, curing) or poor aggregate, or both. The quality of the aggregate is affected by the quality of the workmanship, and vice versa. W = poor workmanship, A = poor aggregate On a given project: P(A) = 0.25 P(W | A ) = 0.33 P(W) = 0.45 What is the probability of at least one of the causes of defective concrete during the project to 2 decimal places?
Example 10.13 It has been found that 7 per cent of the tools manufactured by a factory are defective. What is the probability that in a shipment of 625 such tools (a) 8 per cent or more, and (b) 7 per cent or less will be defective?
Q1: In a factory, there are three types of machines M1, M2 and M3 which produces 25%, 35% and 40% of the total bolts respectively. M1, M2 and M3 produces 5%, 4% and 2% defective bolts, respectively. A bolt is drawn at random and is found to be defective. What is the probability of that it is manufactured by: 1. machine 1? 2. machine 2? 3. machine 3?
Three different machines M1, M2, and M3 are used to produce similar electronic components. Machines M1, M2, and M3 produce 20%, 30% and 50% of the components respectively. It is known that the probabilities that the machines produce defective components are 1% for M1, 2% for M2, and 3% for M3. If a component is selected randomly from a large batch, and that component is defective, find the probability that it was produced: (a) by M2, and (b) by M3.

From experience, a wheat farmer living in Manitoba, Canada finds that his annual profit (in Canadian dollars) is $80,000 if the summer weather is typical, $50,000 if the weather is unusually dry, and $20,000 if there is a severe storm that destroys much of his crop. Weather bureau records indicate that the probability is 0.70 of typical weather, 0.20 of unusually dry weather, and 0.10 of a severe storm. Let X denote the farmer's profit next year (a) Construct a table with the probability distribution of X. (b) What is the probability that the profit is $50,000 or less? (c) Find the mean of the probability distribution of X. Interpret. (d) Suppose the farmer buys insurance for $3000 that pays him $20,000 in the event of a severe storm that destroys much of the crop and pays nothing otherwise. Find the probability distribution of his profit. Find the mean and summarize the effect of buying this insurance.
