Two different suppliers, A and B, provide a manufacturer with the same part. All supplies of this part are kept in a large bin. in the past, 5% of the parts supplied by A and 9% of the parts supplied by B have been defective. A supplies four times as many parts as B. Suppose you reach into the bin and select a part, and find it is nondetective. What is the probability that it was supplied by A

Respuesta :

Answer:

The probability of selecting a non-defective part provided by supplier A is 0.807.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = a part is supplied by supplier A, B = a part is supplied by supplier B and D = a part is defective.

Given:

P (D|A) = 0.05, P(D|B) = 0.09

A supplies four times as many parts as B, i.e. n (A) = 4 and n (B) = 1.

Then the probability of event A and B is:

[tex]P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(A)+N(B)}= \frac{4}{4+1}=0.80\\P(B)\frac{n(B)}{n(A)+N(B)}= \frac{1}{4+1}=0.20[/tex]

Compute the probability of selecting a defective product:

[tex]P(D)=P(D|A)P(A)+P(D|B)P(B)\\=(0.05\times0.80)+(0.09\times0.20)\\=0.058[/tex]

The probability of selecting a non-defective part provided by supplier A is:

[tex]P(A|D')=\frac{P(D'|A)P(A)}{P(D')} = \frac{(1-P(D|A))P(A)}{1-P(D)}\\=\frac{(1-0.05)\times0.80}{(1-0.058)}\\ =0.80679\\\approx0.807[/tex]

Thus, the probability of selecting a non-defective part provided by supplier A is 0.807.

The required probability of selecting a non-defective part provided by supplier A is 0.807.

Let,

A part is supplied by supplier A,

B part is supplied by supplier B,

And D = a part is defective.

Given:

P ([tex]\frac{D}{A}[/tex]) =5% = 0.05,

P([tex]\frac{D}{B}[/tex]) = 9% =  0.09

A supplies four times as many parts as B, .

Then, n (A) = 4 and n (B) = 1.

The probability of event A and B is:

Probability of event P(A) = [tex]\frac{n (A)}{n (A) + n(B)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{4+1}[/tex]

                                 P(A) = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

And Probability of Event P(B) = [tex]\frac{n (B )}{n (A) + n(B)} = \frac{1}{4+1}[/tex]

                                        P(B) = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Then , the probability of selecting a defective product:

P(D) = [tex]P(\frac{D}{A}) P(A) + P(\frac{D}{B}) P(B)[/tex]

P(D) = 0.50×0.80 + 0.09×0.20

P(D) = 0.058

The probability of selecting a non-defective part provided by supplier A is

[tex]P(\frac{A}{D'} )= \frac{P(D'(A)) . P(A)}{P(D')} \\\\[/tex]

          = [tex]\frac{1- P(D(A)). P(A)}{1-P(A)} \\\\\frac{(1-0.05) . 0.80}{1- 0.05} \\\\[/tex]

          = 0.807

Hence, the probability of selecting a non-defective part provided by supplier A is 0.807.
