The probability of a machine being accidentally overfilled on a given day is 0.05. If the machine is overfilled there is a 0.8 p

robability that it will break down dur ing the course of the day. If the machine is not overfilled the probability of a breakdown during the day is only 0.1. Yesterday the machine broke down. What is the probability that it had been accidentally overfilled

Answer:

0.2963 or 29.63%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possibilities for a machine breaking down:

1 - Overfilled and broke down (O&B)

2- Not overfilled and broke down (N&B)

The probabilities for each outcome are as follows;

P(O\&B) = 0.05*0.8\\P(O\&B) = 0.04\\

P(N\&B) = (1-0.05)*0.1\\P(N\&B) = 0.095\\

Given that the machine broke down, the probability that it was overfilled is:

P(O|B) =\frac{P(O\&B)}{P(O\&B)+P(N\&B)}\\P(O|B) =\frac{0.04}{0.04+0.095}\\P(O|B) =0.2963=29.63\%

The probability is 0.2963 or 29.63%.

Greg has decreased his running time by 1/10 minute each of the last six weeks. Write an expression to represent the total change
Nastasia [14]

x is your starting running time. 1/10 of a minute is 6 seconds, so you can do x - 6(6). 6 times 6 = 36, so your answer is x - 36 seconds. 36 seconds.

A food scientist takes a random sample of 25 cereals in order to test the claim that the mean fiber content is less than 2.5 gra
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Choice A: there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean for the fiber content is less than 2.5 gms.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graphs given the more appropriate is one sample t- test

One sample t- test is used and the results are

Hypothesis Test                       Fiber

Sample Mean                          2.62

Sample St. Dev                       3.492

Degrees of Freedom              24

t- test statistic                         0.1718

p- value                                    0.5675

the critical region for this test at ∝= 0.05 is t < -1.711

There is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Since the calculated t=   0.1718 does not fall in the critical region the null hypothesis is accepted that the mean fiber content is not  less than 2.5 grams.T
