Please help me to understand this example and why he choose plant 2 given the standard
Example
A certain item is manufactured at two plants. Plant 1 makes 70% of
the requirement and Plant 2 makes 30%. From Plant 1, 90% meet the
required standard and from Plant 2 only 80%.
What is the probability that an item purchased by a customer meets
the standard?
Consider, st is the event that an item is up to standard
Pl is the event that the item is made in Plant 1
P2 is the event that the item is made in Plant 2
P(P1) = 0.7
P(P2) = 0.3
P(st P1) = 0.9
P(st P2) = 0.8
P(st) = P(st | P1). P(P1) + P(st | P2). P(P2)
= 0.9 x 0.7 + 0.8 x 0,3 = 0.63 + 0.24 = 0.87
