Exercise 4

One machine can produce three different types of screws S1, S2, S3. One and the same variety is always produced per work shift. The shares in production are 30% for S1, 45% for S2 and 25% for S3. Unfortunately, the machine does not work without any problems. The probability of a fault-free layer is 91% for type S1, 95% for S2 and 85% for S3. a) What is the probability that a shift will not have a disruption?

b) A fault occurred during a shift. What is the probability that S3 grade was produced during this shift?

c) What would have to be (instead of 85%) the probability of an interference-free shift in the production of type S3 in order to increase the probability of an interference-free shift from sub-task a) to 92.5%?  

d) What is the probability that a shift will be free of faults if grade S2 is not produced during this shift?
