Question
Mobile phone batteries are produced by two machines. Machine A produces 60% of the daily output and machine B produces 40%. It is found by testing that on average 2% of batteries produced by machine A are faulty and 1% of batteries produced by machine B are faulty.
(i) Draw a tree diagram clearly showing the respective probabilities.
(ii) A battery is selected at random. Find the probability that it is faulty.
(iii) A battery is selected at random and found to be faulty. Find the probability that it was produced by machine A.
In a pack of seven transistors, three are found to be defective. Three transistors are selected from the pack at random without replacement. The discrete random variable X represents the number of defective transistors selected.
(i) Find P(X=2).
(ii) Copy and complete the following table:
(iii) Determine E(X).

(i) A1A1
Note: Award A1 for a correctly labelled tree diagram and A1 for correct probabilities.
(ii) P(F)=0.6×0.02+0.4×0.01 (M1)
=0.016 A1
(iii) P(A|F)=P(A∩F)P(F)
=0.6×0.020.016 (=0.0120.016) M1
=0.75 A1
