If a machine is correctly set up, it produces 90% acceptable items. If it is incorrectly set up, it produces only 40% acceptable items. Past experience shows that 80% of the set ups are correctly done. If after a certain set up, the machine produces 2 acceptable items, find the probability that the machine is correctly setup.

A manufacturer has three machine operators A, B and C. The first operator A produces 1% defective items, where as the other two operators B and C produce 5% and 7% defective items respectively. A is on the job for 50% of the time, B is on the job for 30% of the time and C is on the job for 20% of the time. A defective item is produced, what is the probability that it was produced by A?

A factory has two machines A and B. Past record shows that machine A produced 60% of the items of output and machine B produced 40% of the items. Further, 2% of the items produced by machine A and 1% produced by machine B were defective. All the items are put into one stockpile and then one item is chosen at random from this and is found to be defective. What is the probability that it was produced by machine B?

A company has two plants to manufacture bicycles. The first plant manufactures 60% of the bicycles and the second plant 40% . Also 80% of the bicycles are rated of standard quality at the first plant and 90% of standard quality at the second plant. A cycle is picked up at random and found to be of standard quality. Find the probability that it comes from the second plant.

In a bulb factory, machines A, B and C manufacture 25%, 35% and 40% bulbs respectively. Out of thse bulbs 5%, 4% and 2% of the bulbs produced respectively by A, B and C are found to be defective. A bulb is picked up at random from the total production and found to be defective. Find the probability that this bulb was produced by the machine B.

The angular width of central maximum of a Fraunhofer diffraction fringe formed by a narrow slit is measured. For this, the slit is illuminated by a light of wavelength 6000 Å. When the slit is illuminated by light of another wavelength, it is found that the angular width decreases by 30%. Find the wavelength of the light used in the second case. Now, in the first case, the total set-up of the experiment is immersed in a liquid. It is found that, the angular width of central maximum decreases by same amount. Calculate the refractive index of the liquid.
