An item is manufactured by three machines A, B and C. Out of the total number of items manufactured during a specified period, 50% are manufactured on A, 30% on B and 20% on C. 2% of the items produced on A and 2% of items produced on B are defective, and 3% of these produced on C are defective. All the items are stored at one godown. One item is drawn at random and is found to be defective. What is the probability that it was manufactured on machine A?
उत्तर
Let E1: The event that the item is manufactured on machine A
E2: The event that the item is manufactured on machine B
E3: The event that the item is manufactured on machine C
Let H be the event that the selected item is defective.
∴ Using Bayes’ Theorem,
P(E1) = `50/100`
P(E2) = `30/100`
P(E3) = `20/100`
`"P"("H"/"E"_1_ 2/100`
`"P"("H"/"E"_2) = 30/100`
And `"P"("H"/"E"_3) = 3/100`
∴ `"P"("E"_1/"H") = ("P"("E"_1)*"P"("H"/"E"_1))/("P"("E"_1)*"P"("H"/"E"_1) + "P"("E"_2)*"P"("H"/"E"_2) + "P"("E"_3)*"P"("H"/"E"_3))`
= `(50/100 xx 2/100)/(50/100 xx 2/100 + 30/100 xx 2/100 + 20/100 xx 3/100)`
= `100/(100 + 60 + 60)`
= `100/220`
= `10/22`
= `5/11`
Hence, the required probability is `5/11`.

A diagnostic test has a probability 0.95 of giving a positive result when applied to a person suffering from a certain disease, and a probability 0.10 of giving a (false) positive result when applied to a non-sufferer. It is estimated that 0.5% of the population are sufferers.
