document.write( "Question 1102486: A previous survey shows that a machine making plastic components is correctly set up for the day's production on 95% of days. On days when it is set up correctly, 98% of the components produced are good. If the machine is not set up correctly, only 40% of the components produced are good. On a particular day, the machine is set up and the first component produced is found to be good. What is the probability that the machine is set up correctly? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #717497 by Boreal(15235) You can put this solution on YOUR website! P(MG|PGood)=P(PGood|MG)*P(MG)/P(Part good|MG)*P(MG)+P(Part good)|MN)*P(MN) \n" ); document.write( "This is 0.98*0.95/(0.98*0.95)+(0.4)*(0.05)=0.931/0.953=0.977 or 97.7% \n" ); document.write( " |
