Chapter 6, Problem 101CR
A company uses three different assembly lines—A1, A2 and A3—to manufacture a particular component. Of those manufactured by A1, 5% need rework to remedy a defect, whereas 8% of A2’s components and 10% of A3’s components need rework. Suppose that 50% of all components are produced by A1, 30% are produced by A2 and 20% are produced by A3.
- a. Construct a tree diagram with first-generation branches corresponding to the three lines. Leading from each branch, draw one branch for rework (R) and another for no rework (N). Then enter appropriate probabilities on the branches.
- b. What is the
probability that a randomly selected component came from A1 and needed rework? - c. What is the probability that a randomly selected component needed rework?

Brian and Jennifer are planning to get married at the end of the year. They read that certain diets are healthier for specific blood types and hope that they both have the same blood type. Unfortunately, neither Brian nor Jennifer can remember their blood type.
Suppose a recent study shows that 28% of adults have blood type A, 21% of adults have blood type B, 34% of adults have blood type AB, and 17% of adults have blood type O. The tree diagram shows the possible outcomes for Brian and Jennifer along with their associated probabilities.
What is the probability that Brian and Jennifer share the same blood type? Give your answer as a decimal, precise to at least two decimal places.

Consider there are only two computer companies in a country. The companies are named “Dude” and “Imac”. Each year, company Dude keeps 1/5th of its customers, while the rest switch to Imac. Each year, Imac keeps 1/3rd of its customers, while the rest switch to Dude. If in 2002, Dude has 1/6th of the market and Imac has 5/6th of the market, what is the distribution of the market share between the two companies in 2003. (Hint: you can cast this as a matrix multiplication problem)

In the trial, a defense attorney pointed out that although Simpson had been guilty of earlier spousal abuse, annually only about 40 women are murdered by their partner per 100,000 incidents of partner abuse. But this was misleading. Every year it is estimated that about 5 of every 100,000 women in the US who suffer partner abuse are killed by someone other than their partner. Draw a tree diagram for women who suffer partner abuse. Calculate the following (round to 5 decimal places):a) What is the probability that a woman who suffers partner abuse will be murdered by their partner?b) What is the probability that a woman who suffers partner abuse will be murdered (by anyone)?c) What is the probability that a murdered woman who suffered partner abuse was murdered by their partner?arrow_forwardBrian and Jennifer are planning to get married at the end of the year.

Researchers have compared two antibiotics, A and B, for their cost effectiveness. A is inexpensive, safe, and effective. B is also safe. However, it is considerably more expensive and it is generally more effective.

Find the expected cost of using each antibiotic to treat a middle ear infection. A tree diagram has a root that splits into 2 branches labeled A and B. Primary branch A splits into 2 secondary branches labeled 0.80 Cure 59.30 dollars and 0.20 No cure 96.15 dollars.
