A chain of video stores sells three different brands of DVD players. Of its DVD player sales, 50% are brand 1 (the least expensive), 30% are brand 2, and 20% are brand 3. Each manufacturer offers a 1-year warranty on parts and labor. It is known that 25% of brand 1's DVD players require warranty repair work, whereas the corresponding percentages for brands 2 and 3 are 20% and 10%, respectively. I. What is the probability that a randomly selected purchaser has bought a brand 1 DVD player that will need repair while under warranty? Ii.

1) The probability that a randomly selected purchaser has bought a brand 1 DVD player that will need repair while under warranty is 12.50%.

2) The probability that a randomly selected purchaser has a DVD player that will need repair while under warranty is 20.50%.

3) If a customer returns to the store with a DVD player that needs warranty repair work, the probability that it is a brand 1 DVD player is 60.975%, a brand 2 DVD player is 29.268%, and a brand 3 DVD player is 9.756%.

Since a chain of video stores sells three different brands of DVD players, and of its DVD player sales, 50% are brand 1, 30% are brand 2, and 20% are brand 3, and each manufacturer offers a 1-year warranty on parts and labor, and it is known that 25% of brand 1's DVD players require warranty repair work, whereas the corresponding percentages for brands 2 and 3 are 20% and 10%, respectively, to determine 1) what is the probability that a randomly selected purchaser has bought a brand 1 DVD player that will need repair while under warranty, 2) what is the probability that a randomly selected purchaser has a DVD player that will need repair while under warranty, and 3) if a customer returns to the store with a DVD player that needs warranty repair work, what is the probability that it is a brand 1 DVD player, a brand 2 DVD player and a brand 3 DVD player, the following calculations must be performed:

50 x 0.25 = X12.50 = X

(50 x 0.25) + (30 x 0.20) + (20 x 0.10) = X12.50 + 6 + 2 = X20.50 = X

12.50 x 100 / 20.50 = X60.975 = X6 x 100 / 20.50 = X29.268 = X2 x 100 / 20.50 = X9.756 = X

i) If a customer returns to the store with a DVD player that needs warranty repair work, what is the probability that it is a brand 1 DVD player

$P(\frac{D_{1} }{R} ) =0.6097$

ii) If a customer returns to the store with a DVD player that needs warranty repair work, what is the probability that it is a brand 2 DVD player

$P(\frac{D_{2} }{R} ) =0.2926$

iii) If a customer returns to the store with a DVD player that needs warranty repair work, what is the probability that it is a brand 2 DVD player

$P(\frac{D_{3} }{R} ) =0.09756$

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given data

Let D₁ be the event of brand 1 DVD players

Given P( D₁) = 50% = 0.5

Let D₂ be the event of brand 2 DVD players

Given P( D₂) = 30% = 0.3

Let D₃ be the event of brand 3 DVD players

Given P(D₃ ) = 20% = 0.2

Let 'R' be the event of brand 1's DVD players require warranty repair work

Given data

$P(\frac{R}{D_{1} } ) = 0.25$

$P(\frac{R}{D_{2} } ) = 0.20$

$P(\frac{R}{D_{3} } ) = 0.10$

If a customer returns to the store with a DVD player that needs warranty repair work, what is the probability that it is a brand 1 DVD player

$P(\frac{D_{1} }{R} ) = \frac{P(D_{1} )P(\frac{R}{D_{1} }) }{P(D_{1} )P(\frac{R}{D_{1} }) +P(D_{2}) P(\frac{R}{D_{2} } )+P(D_{3}P(\frac{R}{D_{3} } ) }$

Substitute all values

$P(\frac{D_{1} }{R} ) = \frac{0.50 X 0.25 }{0.50 X 0.25+0.30 X 0.20 + 0.20 X 0.10 }$

$P(\frac{D_{1} }{R} ) = \frac{0.125}{0.205} =0.6097$

If a customer returns to the store with a DVD player that needs warranty repair work, what is the probability that it is a brand 2 DVD player

$P(\frac{D_{2} }{R} ) = \frac{P(D_{2} )P(\frac{R}{D_{2} }) }{P(D_{1} )P(\frac{R}{D_{1} }) +P(D_{2}) P(\frac{R}{D_{2} } )+P(D_{3}P(\frac{R}{D_{3} } ) }$

$P(\frac{D_{2} }{R} ) = \frac{0.30 X 0.20 }{0.50 X 0.25+0.30 X 0.20 + 0.20 X 0.10 }$

$P(\frac{D_{2} }{R} ) = \frac{0.06}{0.205} =0.2926$

If a customer returns to the store with a DVD player that needs warranty repair work, what is the probability that it is a brand 3 DVD player

$P(\frac{D_{3} }{R} ) = \frac{P(D_{3}) P(\frac{R}{D_{3} } )}{P(D_{1} )P(\frac{R}{D_{1} }) +P(D_{2}) P(\frac{R}{D_{2} } )+P(D_{3}P(\frac{R}{D_{3} } ) }$

$P(\frac{D_{3} }{R} ) = \frac{0.20 X 0.10 }{0.50 X 0.25+0.30 X 0.20 + 0.20 X 0.10 }$

$P(\frac{D_{3} }{R} ) = \frac{0.02}{0.205} =0.09756$

Use the spider tool located on page 1 of this activity to draw a 12-pointed star for the new logo. (hint: if the spider rotates 360 degrees -- or 720 degrees or 1080 degrees -- she will be facing in the same direction in which she started. when the spider is done drawing, you want her to be facing in the same direction in which she started. she'll be making 12 rotations, all the same size, so each rotation must be some multiple of 360/12 = 30 degrees.) urgently. been stuck on this problem for around 45 minutes now.! it should be easy if you're smart enough
