In a factory, machine X produces 60% of the daily output and machine Y produces 40% of the daily output. 2% of machine X's output is defective, and 1.5% of machine Y's output is defective. One day, an item was inspected at random and found to be defective. What is the probability that it was produced by machine X?

A jet fighter consists of two engines. The probability that the second engine functions in a satisfactory manner during its design life is 0.96, and the probability that at least one if the two engines does so is 0.98 and the probability that both engine do so is 0.935. Given that the first engine functions in a satisfactory manner throughout its design life, what is the probability that the second one also?

Two machines turn out all the paper bags produced in the plant. Machine A produces 38% of the bags and machine B produces 62% of the bags. Machine A produces defective bags 1.9% of the time and machine B produces defective bags 3.8% of the time. Given a defective bag, what is the probability that it came from machine B?
A boy uses a homemade metal detector to look for valuable metal objects on a beach. The machine isn't perfect-it identifies only 98% of the metal objects over which it passes, and it identifies 4% of the nonmetallic objects over which it passes. Suppose that 25% of the objects that the machine passes over are metal. Find the probability that the boy has found a metal object when he receives a signal from the machine. Show your work.
Suppose that if person with tuberculosis is given a TB screening, the probability that his or her condition will be detected is 0.90. If a person without tuberculosis is given a TB screening , the probability that he or she will be diagnosed incorrectly as having tuberculosis is 0.3. Suppose, further, that 11% of the adult residents of a certain city have tuberculosis. If one of these adults is diagnosed as having tuberculosis based on the screening, what is the probability that he or she actually has tuberculosis?

A manufacturer wishes to estimate the accuracy of its final visual inspection process. A random sample of 180 devices is selected from production. An item is defective or “bad” if it contains at least one visually noticeable cosmetic defect. The process improvement team agrees that the sample contains 27 bad items and 153 good items. The team gives the items to a “certified” operator for inspection. The operator rejects 10 good pieces and accepts 11 bad pieces and classifies the remainder correctly. What is the probability that the inspector will reject an item? P(inspector will reject an item) = ________%. Enter value using one decimal place.
