In a factory, two machines A and B are used to manufacture parts.
Machine A ensures $40\%$ of production and machine B ensures $60\%$. It is estimated that $10\%$ of parts from machine A have a defect and that $9\%$ of parts from machine B have a defect.
A part is chosen at random and we consider the following events:
- $A$: ``The part is produced by machine A''
- $B$: ``The part is produced by machine B''
- $D$: ``The part has a defect''
- $\bar{D}$: the opposite event of event $D$.
- a. Translate the situation using a probability tree. b. Calculate the probability that the chosen part has a defect and was manufactured by machine A. c. Prove that the probability $P(D)$ of event $D$ is equal to 0.094. d. It is observed that the chosen part has a defect. What is the probability that this part comes from machine A?
- It is estimated that machine A is properly adjusted if $90\%$ of the parts it manufactures are conforming. It is decided to check this machine by examining $n$ parts chosen at random ($n$ natural integer) from the production of machine A. These $n$ draws are treated as successive independent draws with replacement. We denote by $X_n$ the number of parts that are conforming in the sample of $n$ parts, and $F_n = \dfrac{X_n}{n}$ the corresponding proportion. a. Justify that the random variable $X_n$ follows a binomial distribution and specify its parameters. b. In this question, we take $n = 150$. Determine the asymptotic fluctuation interval $I$ at the $95\%$ threshold of the random variable $F_{150}$. c. A quality test counts 21 non-conforming parts in a sample of 150 parts produced. Does this call into question the adjustment of the machine? Justify the answer.
