Answer:
1/2 or 50% probability
Step-by-step explanation:
There are just two players, player A and player B. Since it is between this two players, for player A to score first we would have:
AB where player A is the first player to score, we wouldn't have BA since player would not be the first here
Probability = number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes
Therefore probability of A being the first player = number of A/total number of players
=1/2 = 0.50
There is therefore a 50% chance of A being the first player
Answer:
(a) 0.0833 or 8.33%
(b) 0.40 or 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Parts line one (n1) = 1,000 parts
Defects line one (d1) = 100 parts
Parts line two (n2) = 2,000 parts
Defects line two (d2) = 150 parts
Total number of parts (n) = 3,000 parts
a. Probability of a randomly selected part being defective:

The probability is 0.0833 or 8.33%
b. Probability of a part being produced by line one, given that it is defective:

The probability is 0.40 or 40%.
check the picture below.
notice, a function that is decreasing, namely have a negative slope, doesn't have to be negative.
