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`.

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)
