5. Suppose a batch of widgets has a 50% prior probability of coming from supplier 1; otherwise it comes from supplier 2. Suppose 3% of supplier 1's widgets are defective and 2% of supplier 2's widgets are defective (independently). Ten widgets from the batch are tested. a. What is the probability the first widget is defective? b. What is the probability the second widget is defective? c. What is the probability the second widget is defective given the first is defective? d. What is the probability that the first widget is defective given the 10th widget is defective? e. What is the probability the first widget is defective if we know it came from supplier 1? f. What is the probability the second widget is defective if the first is defective and we know the batch came from supplier 1? g. What are the posterior odds the batch came from supplier 1 given two widgets are tested and found defective? h. What is the posterior probability (write the expression) that the batch is from supplier 1 if all ten widgets are defective?

Step 1
- The probability that the first widget is defective is the sum of the probabilities that it comes from supplier 1 and is defective, and that it comes from supplier 2 and is defective. - Probability of coming from supplier 1 and being defective: 0.5 * 0.03 = Show more…

Let X equal the number of widgets that are defective when 3 widgets are randomly chosen and observed. The possible values for X are {0,1,2,3}. The probability mass function for X: x P(X = x) or f(x) 0 0.550 1 0.250 2 0.175 3 0.025 Check the sum of the probabilities 1. What is the probability of 1 defective widget? What is the probability of more than 1 defective widget?

In a widget factory, 10% of the widgets produced have a minor defect, and 1% of the widgets produced have a major defect. The company sells boxes of n = 30 widgets for $200. a) [2] What is the probability that a box of widgets has 2 widgets with major defects and 5 widgets with minor defects? b) [2] What is the probability that there are less than 5 widgets with any type of defect (minor or major). c) [4] It costs the company $10 to repair widgets with a major defect, and $5 to repair widgets with a minor defect. What is the expected value and standard deviation of the net profit (cost of the box minus cost of repairs)

Assume that widgets are produced with a certain probability of being defective. Assume the probability of being defective for each widget is the same given a specified machine. If you find a defective widget this does not imply anything about the other widgets. It is believed that the percent of defective widgets produced by Machine 1 is greater than that of Machine 2. You take a simple random sample of size 920 from machine 1 and find 833 defectives. You take a simple random sample of size 854 from machine 2 and find 769 defectives. Test your hypothesis at the 0.05 level.
