Question

1) Suppose that 1.68 percent of the products manufactured at by a company are defective. If a product from this company is defective, it will break within the first year with probability 0.901. If a product from this company is not defective, it will break within the first year with probability 0.015. What is the probability that a product from this company will break within the first year?

2)Suppose that 1.08 percent of the products manufactured at by a company are defective. If a product from this company is defective, it will break within the first year with probability 0.948. If a product from this company is not defective, it will break within the first year with probability 0.028. What is the probability that a product from this company was defective, conditional on the event that it breaks within the first year?

3)In a particular digital communication system, the signal transmitted over a bit interval is 0 with probability 0.49 and 1 with probability 1 - 0.49. If the transmitted signal is a 0, the probability that it will be erased is 0.013, and if the transmitted signal is a 1, the probability that it will be erased is 0.075. What is the probability that a transmitted signal will be erased?

4)In a particular digital communication system, the signal transmitted over a bit interval is 0 with probability 0.548 and 1 with probability 1 - 0.548. If the transmitted signal is a 0, the probability that it will be erased is 0.021, and if the transmitted signal is a 1, the probability that it will be erased is 0.073. What is the probability that 0 was transmitted, conditional on the event that the signal was erased?

Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Explanation / Answer

1)

P(D) =0.0168

P(B|D)= 0.901

P(B|ND)=0.015

P(ND) = 1 -P(D) = 0.9832

P(B)=P(B D) + P(B ND)

= P(D)* P(B|D) + P(ND)*P(B|ND)

= 0.0168* 0.901 + 0.9832* 0.015

= 0.0151368 + 0.014748

= 0.0298848

= 0.030
