उत्तर
Let E1, E2, E3 be the events that bulb is manufactured by machines A, B, C respectively.
E1, E2, E3 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.
It is given that,
P(E1) = 25% = `25/100`, P(E2) = 35% = `35/100`, P(E3) = 40% = `40/100`
Let D ≡ the event that bulb is defective.
It is given that machines A, B, C have outputs of which 5% 4%, 2% are defective,
∴ `"P"("D"/"E"_1) = 5/100, "P"("D"/"E"_2) = 4/100, "P"("D"/"E"_3) = 2/100`
By Baye's Theorem, the required probability = `"P"("E"_2/"D")`
= `("P"("E"_2)*"P"("D"/"E"_2))/("P"("E"_1)*"P"("D"/"E"_1) + "P"("E"_2)*"P"("D"/"E"_2) + "P"("E"_3)*"P"("D"/"E"_3))`
= `((35/100)*(4/100))/((25/100)*(5/100) + (35/100)*(4/100) + (40/100)*(2/100))`
= `140/(125 + 140 + 80)`
= `140/345`
= `28/69`.

Given that P(A) = `square`, P(C) = `square`
P(T) = `square`
P(L/A) = `1/2`, P(L/C) = `square` P(L/T) = `1/4`
P(L) = P(A ∩ L) + P(C ∩ L) + P(T ∩ L)
`="P"("A")*"P"("L"//"A") + "P"("C")*"P"("L"//"C") + "P"("T")*"P"("L"//"T")`
`= square * square + square * square + square * square`
`= square + square + square`
`= square`
`"P"("C"//"L") = ("P"("L" ∩ "C"))/("P"("L"))`
= `("P"("C") * "P"("L"//"C"))/("P"("L"))`
`= (square * square)/square`
`= square`
