Draw a tree diagram to illustrate all the possible outcomes and associated probabilities.

  1. Determine the probability of biscuits made by each machine.

    • Machine K makes 45% of biscuits: P(K)=0.45P(K) = 0.45
    • Machine J makes 30% of biscuits: P(J)=0.30P(J) = 0.30
    • Machine L makes the rest: P(L)=1−P(K)−P(J)=1−0.45−0.30=1−0.75=0.25P(L) = 1 - P(K) - P(J) = 1 - 0.45 - 0.30 = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25
  2. Determine the conditional probabilities of a biscuit being broken (B) or not broken (B') for each machine.

    • For Machine J: P(B∣J)=0.02P(B|J) = 0.02, so P(B′∣J)=1−0.02=0.98P(B'|J) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98
    • For Machine K: P(B∣K)=0.03P(B|K) = 0.03, so P(B′∣K)=1−0.03=0.97P(B'|K) = 1 - 0.03 = 0.97
    • For Machine L: P(B∣L)=0.05P(B|L) = 0.05, so P(B′∣L)=1−0.05=0.95P(B'|L) = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95
  3. Draw the tree diagram.

                 K (0.45)                   J (0.30)                   L (0.25)

          B (0.03)        B'(0.97)   B (0.02)        B'(0.98)   B (0.05)        B'(0.95)

          P(K and B)      P(K and B') P(J and B)      P(J and B') P(L and B)      P(L and B')
          = 0.45*0.03     = 0.45*0.97 = 0.30*0.02     = 0.30*0.98 = 0.25*0.05     = 0.25*0.95
          = 0.0135        = 0.4365    = 0.0060        = 0.2940    = 0.0125        = 0.2375
    

    The possible outcomes and their associated probabilities are:

    • P(Machine K and Broken)=0.45×0.03=0.0135P(\text{Machine K and Broken}) = 0.45 \times 0.03 = \boxed{0.0135}
    • P(Machine K and Not Broken)=0.45×0.97=0.4365P(\text{Machine K and Not Broken}) = 0.45 \times 0.97 = \boxed{0.4365}
    • P(Machine J and Broken)=0.30×0.02=0.0060P(\text{Machine J and Broken}) = 0.30 \times 0.02 = \boxed{0.0060}
    • P(Machine J and Not Broken)=0.30×0.98=0.2940P(\text{Machine J and Not Broken}) = 0.30 \times 0.98 = \boxed{0.2940}
    • P(Machine L and Broken)=0.25×0.05=0.0125P(\text{Machine L and Broken}) = 0.25 \times 0.05 = \boxed{0.0125}
    • P(Machine L and Not Broken)=0.25×0.95=0.2375P(\text{Machine L and Not Broken}) = 0.25 \times 0.95 = \boxed{0.2375}
