In a manufactory, there are two types of spoilages. It is found that 5% of spoilages are due to transformer spoilage, 8% are due to line spoilage and 3% involve both problems. Are the two types of spoilages independent or not? Justify your answer. What is the probability that: i- line spoilage given that there is transformer spoilage ii- Transformer spoilage but not line spoilage. iii- Transformer spoilage given that there is no line spoilage
Continuous Probability Distributions
Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.
Normal Distribution
Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!
QUESTION 3:
In a manufactory, there are two types of spoilages. It is found that 5% of spoilages are due to transformer spoilage, 8% are due to line spoilage and 3% involve both problems.
- Are the two types of spoilages independent or not? Justify your answer.
- What is the probability that:
i- line spoilage given that there is transformer spoilage
ii- Transformer spoilage but not line spoilage.
iii- Transformer spoilage given that there is no line spoilage
iv- Neither transformer spoilage nor there is no line spoilage
v- Either transformer spoilage or there is no line spoilage
