A chip company has two manufacturing plants. Plant A produces 40% of the chips and Plant B produces 60% of the chips produced by the company. The company knows that 2% of the chips produced by plant A are defective and 1% of the chips produced by plant B are defective. If a randomly chosen chip produced by the company is defective, what is the likelihood that the chip came from plant A? Show your work.

Step 1
- Plant A produces 40% of the chips with 2% defective, which is 0.8% defective. - Plant B produces 60% of the chips with 1% defective, which is 0.6% defective. - Total defective chips percentage = 0.8% + 0.6% = 1.4% Show more…

Suppose that a factory has two machines, machine A and machine B, both producing phone touch screens. 40% of their touch screens come from machine A and 60% of their touch screens comes from machine B. 10% of the touch screens produced by machine A are defective and 5% of the touch screens from machine B are defective. If randomly touch screen has been chosen and it is defective, what is the probability that it came from machine A? Show full answer.

A company uses two machines to produce medical devices. Machine A produces 60% of the products and 1% percent of those products are defective. Machine B produces the remaining 40% of the products and 5% are defective. Given that a defective device is found, what is the probability that it was produced by Machine A.
The manufacturing of semiconductor chips produces $2 \%$ defective chips. Assume the chips are independent and that a lot contains 1000 chips. (a) Approximate the probability that more than 25 chips are defective (b) Approximate the probability that between 20 and 30 chips are defoctive.
