In a bolt factory, machines A, B and C manufacture 25%, 35% and 40% of total outputs, respectively. Of the total of their outputs, 5%, 4% and 2% are defective bolts, respectively. A bolt is drawn at random and is found to be defective. What is the probability that it was manufactured by machines A, B or C?

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 circuit operates as long as there is a functional path, which does not include any dysfunctional (broken) switches on its path, between 1 and 2. The probabilities that the switches A, B, and Y are not functioning or broken (Failure, F) are 12%, (22)%, and (13)%, respectively (as shown in the figure below). The switches function independently. What is the probability that the circuit operates successfully (Success, S) from 1 to 2?

A retailer of automobile parts has four employees, K, L, M, and N, who make mistakes in filling an order one time in 100, four times in 100, two times in 100, and six times in 100. Of all the orders filled, K , L, M, and N fill, respectively, 20%, 40%, 30%, and 10%. If a mistake is found in a particular order, what are the probabilities that it was filled by K, L, M, or N?
A company sends its products from 3 warehouses, namely from warehouse A=30%, warehouseB=20% and from warehouse C=50%. Based on complaints from customers, it is known thatthe percentage of defective products sent from each warehouse is as follows: A=3% , B= 5% and from warehouse C= 2%.a.
