Concept explainers
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?

- 1. Suppose that, in Example 2.27, 400 units of food A, 600 units of B, and 600 units of C are placed in the test tube each day and the data on daily food consumption by the bacteria (in units per day) are as shown in Table 2.6. How many bacteria of each strain can coexist in the test tube and consume all of the food?

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. 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 21% of adults have blood type A, 34% of adults have blood type B, 38% of adults have blood type AB, and 7% 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. ?(Brian and Jennifer have the same blood type)P(Brian and Jennifer have the same blood type) =arrow_forward
- In a survey conducted by Health Ministry on prevalence of diabetes disease among senior citizens, those above 60 year-old, the following are the published information: 55% of the respondents are Malay and 25% of them are diabetics; 25% of the respondents are Chinese and 20% of them are diabetics; 20% of the respondents are Indian and 15% of them are diabetics. (а) Illustrate the above published information in a tree diagram. If a senior citizen is picked at random, find the probability that he/she is a diabetic. (b) (c) Suppose that a senior citizen is diabetic, find the probability that he/she is Malay.arrow_forwardLet's assume that there are 500 people in a population. The researcher has access to all 500 participants, and sends a questionnaire that is accessed by a hyperlink. Of the 500 possible subjects, 485 complete it. Does this mean that the results generated from this study will be highly-accurate? What might cause the study to be unreliable?arrow_forwardA company that offers courses to prepare future MBA students for the GMAT exam finds that 40% of its clients are currently undergraduate students and 60% are college graduates. After completing the course, 50% of college students and 70% of graduates score at least 600 on the GMAT. Use a tree diagram to organize this information.

- Exercise 10.3.4: Selecting coders for 3 different projects. i About (a) A manager must select three coders from her group to write three different software projects. There are 7 junior and 3 senior coders in her group. The first project can be written by any of the coders. The second project must be written by a senior person and the third project must be written by a junior person. How many ways are there for her to assign the three coders to the projects if no person can be assigned to more than one project?arrow_forward1. A snack food production manager at a company wants to release a new product. In order for the product to be bought by consumers, he wants to know what age segment of the consumer is suitable for his new product. Data collected from the age of 5 years to 60 years. After researching and knowing the most abundant in a certain age segment, then the manager can determine the production of certain snacks which will have the most consumers. After collecting data, the data obtained for the age of 50 people are as follows: 5 7 78 9 6 10 15 19 18 12 15 17 19 20 27 45 32 33 54 50 47 45 48 49 44 43 42 49 23 15 16 27 38 34 27 35 37 46 24 28 29 34 21 22 24 25 27 28 30 Determine the manager produces for what age segment the most?arrow_forwardOtitis media, or middle ear infection, is initially treated with an antibiotic. 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. Use the tree diagram to the right (where the costs are estimated as the total cost of medication, office visit, ear check, and hours of lost work) to answer the following. a. 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.
