Problem 10An assembler of computer routers and modems uses parts from two sources. Company Asupplies 80% of the parts, and Company B supplies the remaining 20% of parts. From pastexperience, the assembler knows that 5% of the parts supplied by Company A are defective,and 3% of the parts supplied by Company B are defective. An assembled modem selected atrandom is found to have a defective part. What is the probability that the part came fromCompany A? Company B? (adapted from [Mendenhall and Sincich 2016], exercise 3.94).

It is given that P(A) = 80% = 0.80, P(B) = 20% = 0.20P(defective/A) = 5% = 0.05 = P(d/A) where, d…

Suppose a doctor is conducting a clinical trial to test the effectiveness of a new drug for treating a certain disease. The doctor randomly assigns 200 patients to two groups: a treatment group that receives the new drug, and a control group that receives a placebo. If 30% of the patients in the treatment group experience a full recovery from the disease, and 20% of the patients in the control group experience a full recovery, what is the probability that the new drug is truly effective, given these results?
A manufacturing company produces two types of smartphones, A and B. 30% of the smartphones produced are type A, while 70% are type B. The defect rate for type A smartphones is 2%, while the defect rate for type B smartphones is 4%. If a customer receives a defective smartphone, what is the probability that it is of type A? Show your calculations and reasoning.
The blood-typing system is based on the presence or absence of antigens. A person with antigen A has blood type A. A person with antigen B has blood type B, and a person with both antigens has the blood type AB. If there are no antigens, then the blood type is O. In addition, blood types are also identified as Rh-positive or Rh-negative based on a different antigen. What is the probability that a person has the A antigen or is Rh-positive?
Your assembly plant buys identical widgets from 3 suppliers, A, B, and C. Suppliers A and B each supplies a quarter of your widgets each day, whereas Supplier C supplies the remaining 50%. Of the widgets supplied by A, B, and C, the average numbers of defective widgets are 5%, 3%, and 7%, respectively.(a) If a widget is selected at random, what is the probability of it being defective? Let A, B, C be the event of a randomly picked widget being sourced by suppliers A, B, and C, respectively. Furthermore, let D be the event of a randomly-picked widget being defective. Use these symbols A, B, C, and D when you do this problem.(b) What is the probability of a randomly-picked widget being supplied by A and also being defective?(c) If a randomly-picked widget is defective, what’s the probability of it having been supplied by A?(d) If a randomly-picked widget is defective, what’s the probability of it having been supplied by B? By C? What's the sum of the 3 probabilities…
A company buys microchips from three suppliers I, II and III. Supplier I has a record of providing microchips that contain 10% defective; supplier a defective rate of 5% and supplier III has a defective rate of 3%. Suppose 10%, 40% and 50% of the current supply came from suppliers I, II and III, respectively. If a randomly selected microchip is defective, what is the probability that it came from supplier II? Express your answer accurate to two decimal places. O 48 O..40 O something else O 44 O 41
The vast majority of European vehicles sold in the world (BMW, Audi, Mercedes- Benz, etc...) receive their transmissions from either ZF Friedrichshafen AG or Continental AG. After the acquisition of TRW by ZF, ZF AG supplied 69% of transmissions, and Continental AG supplied 31%. If three European cars are randomly selected, what is the probability that 2 of the cars use ZF transmissions and 1 use Continental AG transmission? Enter your answer in percent terms (for example 12.5% must be entered as 12.5).
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), up to 20% of Americans contract the influenza virus each year, and approximately 3% of all births in the United States result in birth defects each year. Consider two randomly selected Americans and assume that these two randomly selected Americans are independent of each other. The probability that neither of these two randomly selected Americans will contract the influenza virus in a given year is
