A car producer stocks three types of tires: A, B, and C. Let P(A) = 0.40, P(B) = 0.15 and P(C) = 0.45. The percentage of defective tires is 2%, 1% and 5%, respectively. Someone picks a tire off the shelf at random and it is Brand A.
If you want to know the probability that it is a defective tire (event D), which formula would you use? If you want to know the probability that it is a defective tire (event D), which formula would you use?
a) P(AD)= PD AP(A) PD)
b) P(D|A) = P(A|DP(D) P(A)
c) P(AD)= PD APD) P(A)
d) P(DA)= P(ADP(A) PD)

The correct option is b) .

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of selecting the different types of tires are:

P (A) = 0.40

P (B) = 0.15

P (C) = 0.45

The defective rate for the different types of tires are:

P (D|A) = 0.02

P (D|B) = 0.01

P (D|C) = 0.05

The formula to compute the probability that the tire is defective given that it is Brand A tire as follows:

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.

okay wait before i answer, is this for your points on a graph?
