Disks of polycarbonate plastic from a supplier are analyzed for scratch and shock resistance. the results from 100 disks are summarized as follows:
shock resistance
high low
scratch high 70 9
resistance low 16 5
(a) if a disk is selected at random, what is the probability that its scratch resis-tance is high and its shock resistance is high?
(b) if a disk is selected at random, what is the probability that its scratch resis-tance is high or its shock resistance is high?
(c) consider the event that a disk has high scratch resistance and the event thata disc has high shock resistance. are these events mutually exclusive?

The contingency tables serve to record the frequencies with which an object appears according to the measured variables, in this case two variables, each with two scales, the scratch resistance and the shock resistance, both measured as high and low.

The information is organized in such a way that the value of each box represents the total number of objects that meet the characteristics measured for each variable, for example in this case we have 70 discs with high shock resistance and high scratch resistance, 9 with high scratch resistance and low shock resistance, 16 with high shock resistance and low scratch resistance and finally 5 discs with low scratch and shock resistance.

We complete the table like this to obtain other total values:

With this information, and taking into account that the values presented are frequencies, to obtain the probability, each one must be divided into the total number of objects and multiply by 100, for this case as 100 objects, the frequency is the same percentage or probability .

Answer

a) The probability that, when selecting a random disk, its scratch resistance is high and its shock resistance is high is 70%, since this is the value that corresponds to the intersection of both variables in the table.

b) the probability that, when selecting a random disk, its resistance to scratches is high or that its resistance to impacts is high is 95% because the probability that its resistance to scratches is high is 79 % and the probability that its impact resistance is high is 86%, as one or the other requests, this is the sum of both minus the intersection, that is 79% + 86% -70% = 95%

c) the two events described are not mutually exclusive, that is, they cannot pass through, since the table informs us that of the analyzed discs 70, these two characteristics possessed, high shock resistance and high scratch resistance

1 and 2

step-by-step explanation:

answer:

it is general formula that is used to write value to its excet position

a11 a12 a13

a21 a22 a23

it is the example of order 2 by 3 matrix in this

a11 means value occur in 1 st row 1st column

a12 means value occurs in 1st row 2nd column

a13 means value occur in 1st row and 3rd column

a21 means value occurs in 2nd row and 1st column

a22 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 2nd column

a23 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 3rd column
