The probability of afternoon rain given morning cloud cover >50% is of interest to those forecasting the weather. You can calculate this probability using Bayes' Theorem (below). The probability of morning cloud cover in general is 30% in the area you are concerned with and when there's afternoon rain, morning cloud cover of the kind described above occurs 90% of the time. The probability of rain in general for the area is about 26% of days. From the above information, identify what P(BIA) would be. Express your answer as a proportion, rounded to two decimal places. P(A/B)= = P(B|A)*P(A) P(B)
A factory received a shipment of 15 capacitors, and the vendor who sold the items knows there are 8 capacitors in the shipment that are defective and 7 are not defective. Before the receiving foreman accepts the delivery, he samples the shipment, and if too many of the capacitors in the sample are defective, he will refuse the shipment. Give answer as a decimal to four decimal places.(a) If a sample of 6 capacitors is selected, find the probability that all in the sample are defective. (b) If a sample of 6 capacitors is selected, find the probability that 4 in the sample are defective. (c) If a sample of 3 capacitors is selected, find the probability that 1 in the sample are defective.
