A machine is used in a production process. From past data, it is known that 97% of the time the machine is set up correctly. Furthermore, it is known that if the machine is set up correctly, it produces 95% acceptable (non-defective) items. However, when it is set up incorrectly, it produces only 40% acceptable items.
a.An item from the production line is selected. What is the probability that the selected item is non-defective?b.Given that the selected item is non-defective, what is the probability that the machine is set up correctly?
What will be an ideal response?
| a. | 0.9335 |
| b. | 0.9871 |
