6. Suppose that a manufacturer buys approximately 60 percent of a raw material(in boxes) from Supplier 1, 30 percent from Supplier 2, and 10 percent fromSupplier 3 (these are the prior probabilities). Far each supplier, delective ratesare as follows: Supplier 1: 0.01, Supplier 2: 0.02, and Supplier 3: 0.03. Supposethat the manufacturer observes a defective box of raw material.a) What is the probability that it came from Supplier 2?b) What is the probability that the defective did not come from Supplier 3?

Let us define some events A : a box is from supplier 1. B : a box is from supplier 2. C : a box is…

Answered: What is the probability that it came…

Suppose you have just received a shipment of 28 modems. Although you don't know this, 4 of the modems are defective. To determine whether you will accept the shipment, you randomly select 9 modems and test them. If all 9 modems work, you accept the shipment. Otherwise, the shipment is rejected. What is the probability of accepting the shipment? The probability of accepting the shipment is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 41 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,560 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the 6,560 lb 41 = 160 lb. What is the probability that the aircraft mean weight of the passengers is greater than is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft? Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 182.2 lb and a standard deviation of 36.1. The probability is approximately (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft? A. No. Because the probability is high, the aircraft is safe to fly with its current load. B. Yes. Because the probability is high, the pilot should take action by somehow reducing…
