A foreman for an injection-molding firm admits that on 55% of his shifts, he forgets to shut off the injection machine on his line. This causes the machine to overheat, increasing the probability that a defective molding will be produced during the early morning run from 3% to 15%. The plant manager randomly selects a molding from the early morning run and discovers it is defective. What is the probability that the foreman forgot to shut off the machine the previous night?

0.8594

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a denote the event of forgetting to shut off machine and b be the event of being defective.

-A foreman forgets to shut off machine 55% of the time.

-If he forgets, 15% of molds are defective.

-If he does not, 3% of molds are defective.

#The probability that he forgot to shut off the machine is calculated as:

P(a and ~b)=0.55(1-0.15)=0.4675

P(~a and b) = (1-0.55)*0.03=0.0135

P(~a and ~b) = (1-0.55)*(1-0.03)=0.4365

#Conditional probability is defined as:

Hence,  the probability that the foreman forgot to shut off the machine the previous night is 0.8594

see below

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.
