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 A, 30% on B and 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 are 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
Let E1: The event that the item is manufactured on machine A
E2: The event that the item is manufactured on machine B
E3: The event that the item is manufactured on machine C
Let H be the event that the selected item is defective.
∴ Using Bayes’ Theorem,
P(E1) = `50/100`
P(E2) = `30/100`
P(E3) = `20/100`
`"P"("H"/"E"_1_ 2/100`
`"P"("H"/"E"_2) = 30/100`
And `"P"("H"/"E"_3) = 3/100`
∴ `"P"("E"_1/"H") = ("P"("E"_1)*"P"("H"/"E"_1))/("P"("E"_1)*"P"("H"/"E"_1) + "P"("E"_2)*"P"("H"/"E"_2) + "P"("E"_3)*"P"("H"/"E"_3))`
= `(50/100 xx 2/100)/(50/100 xx 2/100 + 30/100 xx 2/100 + 20/100 xx 3/100)`
= `100/(100 + 60 + 60)`
= `100/220`
= `10/22`
= `5/11`
Hence, the required probability is `5/11`.

An urn contains 5 red and 5 black balls. A ball is drawn at random, its colour is noted and is returned to the urn. Moreover, 2 additional balls of the colour drawn are put in the urn and then a ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that the second ball is red?
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?

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`
