A headlight produced by Enterprise Lumiere was found to be defective. The company has three factories (labeled below as A. B, and C) where such headlights are manufactured. A Quality Control Manager (QCM) is responsible for investigating the source of found defects, and he had compiled information about the source of possible defects. His research is compiled in the table below. In the cells below, compute the joint probabilies for defective parts from the various factories. Assume that "D" stands for "defective." Compute the marginal probability for defective parts. If a randomly selected headlight is defective, what is the probability that the headlight was manufactured in factory C? Factory% of production Probability of defective 0.015 0.03 0.025 A B P(AD)- P(BD)- P(CD) P(D)- P(CD)- 35% 35% 30% 6 Question 2 A small entrepreneurial company is trying to decide between developing two different products that they believe they can sell to two potential companies, one large and one small. If they develop Product A, they have a 50% chance of selling it to the large company with annual purchases of about 20,000 units. If the large company won't purchase it, then they think they have an 80% chance of placing it with a smaller company, with sales of 15,000 units. On the other hand if they develop Product B, they feel they have a 40% chance of selling it to the large company, resulting in annual sales of about 17,000 units. If the large company doesn't buy it, they have a 60% chance of selling it to the small company with sales of 20,000 units. Fill in the probabilities in the trees below, and then answer the questions. Note: Excel formulas not required for the boxes in the probability trees. Product A Product B Sell to large company with annual purchase 20,000 units.
