A factory has two machines A and B. Past record shows that machine A produced 60% of the items of output and machine B produced 40% of the items. Further, 2% of the items produced by machine A and 1% produced by machine B were defective. All the items are put into one stockpile and then one item is chosen at random from this and is found to be defective. What is the probability that was produced by machine B?

उत्तर
Let E1 = output of machine A; E2 = output of machine B
P(E1) = 60% = `60/100 = 3/5`
P(E2) = 40% = `40/100 = 2/5`
E = The item selected is bad.
P(poor output of machine A) = P(E|E1)
= 2%
= `2/100`
P(poor output of machine B) = P(E|E2)
= 1%
= `1/100`
Intended process
= `(1/100 xx 2/5)/((2/100 xx 3/5) + (1/100 xx 2/5))`
= `2/(6 + 2)`
= `1/4`

There are three coins. One is a two-headed coin (having head on both faces), another is a biased coin that comes up heads 75% of the times and the third is also a biased coin that comes up tails 40% of the time. One of the three coins is chosen at random and tossed and it shows heads. What is the probability that it was the two-headed coin?

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`
