An item is manufactured by three machines A, B and C. Out of the total number of items manufactured during a specified period, 50% are manufactured on machine A, 30% on Band 20% on C. 2% of the items produced on A and 2% of items produced on B are defective and 3% of these produced on C are defective. All the items stored at one godown. One item is drawn at random and is found to be defective. What is the probability that it was manufactured on machine A?

उत्तर
\[\text{ Let E be the event of getting a defective item } . \]
\[\text{ We have } , \]
\[P\left( A \right) = 50 % = \frac{50}{100} = \frac{1}{2}, P\left( B \right) = 30 % = \frac{30}{100} = \frac{3}{10} and P\left( C \right) = 20 % = \frac{20}{100} = \frac{1}{5}, \]
\[P\left(E|A \right) = 2 % = \frac{2}{100} = \frac{1}{50}, P\left( E|B \right) = 2 % = \frac{2}{100} = \frac{1}{50} and P\left( E|C \right) = 3 % = \frac{3}{100}\]
\[\text{ Now } , \]
\[P\left( \text{ the defective item drawn was manufactured on machine } A \right) = \frac{P\left( A \right) \times P\left( E|A \right)}{P\left( A \right) \times P\left( E|A \right) + P\left( B \right) \times P\left( E|B \right) + P\left( C \right) \times P\left( E|C \right)}\]
\[ = \frac{\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{50}}{\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{50} + \frac{3}{10} \times \frac{1}{50} + \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{3}{100}}\]
\[ = \frac{\left( \frac{1}{100} \right)}{\left( \frac{1}{100} + \frac{3}{500} + \frac{3}{500} \right)}\]
\[ = \frac{\left( \frac{1}{100} \right)}{\left( \frac{5 + 3 + 3}{500} \right)}\]
\[ = \frac{\left( \frac{1}{100} \right)}{\left( \frac{11}{500} \right)}\]
\[ = \frac{500}{100 \times 11}\]
So, the probability that the defective item drawn was manufactured on machine A is \[\frac{5}{11}\]

A laboratory blood test is 99% effective in detecting a certain disease when it is in fact, present. However, the test also yields a false positive result for 0.5% of the healthy person tested (that is, if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability 0.005, the test will imply he has the disease). If 0.1 percent of the population actually has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive?
