A computer producing factory has only two plants and Plant produces % and plant produces % of the total computers produced. % of computers produced in the factory turn out to be defective. It is known that (computer turns out to be defective given that it is produced in plant ) (computer turns out to be defective given that it is produced in plant ), where denotes the probability of an event . A computer produced in the factory is randomly selected and it does not turn out to be defective. Then the probability that it is produced in plant is
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Define events
Let:
- = computer is produced in plant
- = computer is produced in plant
- = computer is defective
- = computer is not defective
Given:
Also,
- Assume defect probabilities
Let Then
Using total probability: So,
Simplify:
Hence,
- Find non-defective probabilities
Also,
- Apply Bayes' theorem
We need:
Substitute values:
First simplify numerator:
So,
This can further reduce to , but among the options it appears as:
- Check options
- A: ❌
- B: ❌
- C: ✅
- D: ❌
Therefore, the correct option is C.
