Part 22

Part b(i)0.2940

Made by machine J and is not broken.

Using the tree diagram from the previous answer, calculate the probability that the biscuit is

  1. Identify the relevant probability from the tree diagram.

    This is the probability of a biscuit being made by Machine J AND not broken, denoted as P(J and B′)P(J \text{ and } B').

    P(J and B′)=P(J)×P(B′∣J)P(J \text{ and } B') = P(J) \times P(B'|J) P(J and B′)=0.30×0.98P(J \text{ and } B') = 0.30 \times 0.98 P(J and B′)=0.2940P(J \text{ and } B') = \boxed{0.2940}

Part b(ii)0.0320

Broken.

  1. Sum the probabilities of a biscuit being broken from each machine.

    This is P(B)=P(K and B)+P(J and B)+P(L and B)P(B) = P(K \text{ and } B) + P(J \text{ and } B) + P(L \text{ and } B).
    From the tree diagram:
    P(K and B)=0.45×0.03=0.0135P(K \text{ and } B) = 0.45 \times 0.03 = 0.0135
    P(J and B)=0.30×0.02=0.0060P(J \text{ and } B) = 0.30 \times 0.02 = 0.0060
    P(L and B)=0.25×0.05=0.0125P(L \text{ and } B) = 0.25 \times 0.05 = 0.0125

  2. Calculate the total probability of a biscuit being broken.

    P(B)=0.0135+0.0060+0.0125P(B) = 0.0135 + 0.0060 + 0.0125 P(B)=0.0320P(B) = \boxed{0.0320}

Part b(iii)0.0185

Broken but not made by machine K.

  1. Identify the relevant probabilities.

    This means the biscuit is broken AND it was made by machine J OR machine L.

    P(B and not K)=P(J and B)+P(L and B)P(B \text{ and not } K) = P(J \text{ and } B) + P(L \text{ and } B)

    From the tree diagram:
    P(J and B)=0.0060P(J \text{ and } B) = 0.0060
    P(L and B)=0.0125P(L \text{ and } B) = 0.0125

  2. Calculate the sum of these probabilities.

    P(B and not K)=0.0060+0.0125P(B \text{ and not } K) = 0.0060 + 0.0125 P(B and not K)=0.0185P(B \text{ and not } K) = \boxed{0.0185}

Part 23

In the triangle OAB below, OA⃗=a\vec{OA} = \mathbf{a}, OB⃗=b\vec{OB} = \mathbf{b} and 3OA⃗=2OC⃗3\vec{OA} = 2\vec{OC}. M divides OB in the ratio 1:1.

Part a(i)

a−b\mathbf{a} - \mathbf{b}

BA⃗\vec{BA}

Express in terms of a\mathbf{a} and b\mathbf{b} only, the vectors

  1. Use the vector addition rule BA⃗=BO⃗+OA⃗\vec{BA} = \vec{BO} + \vec{OA}.

    We know BO⃗=−OB⃗\vec{BO} = -\vec{OB} and OB⃗=b\vec{OB} = \mathbf{b}.
    So, BO⃗=−b\vec{BO} = -\mathbf{b}.
    We are given OA⃗=a\vec{OA} = \mathbf{a}.

  2. Substitute the vectors.

    BA⃗=−b+a\vec{BA} = -\mathbf{b} + \mathbf{a} BA⃗=a−b\vec{BA} = \boxed{\mathbf{a} - \mathbf{b}}
