38. Case study - 3
Jyoti CNC is the largest CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine
AS-03 8

manufacturing company of India. Their unit in Bhubaneswar, Odisha

has three machine operators A, B and C. The operators supervise the
machines while they execute the task and make any necessary
adjustments to produce a better result. Their focus is to minimize
defects as it increased the cost of operations.

The first operator A produces 1% defective items, whereas the other

two operators B and C produces 5% and 7% defective items
respectively. Job times of operators are as under:
Machine % of the time on
operators the job
A 50 %
B 30 %
C 20 %

Based on the given information, answer the following questions:

(A) What is the conditional probability that the defective item is
produced by the operator A? 2 marks
(B) The factory in charge wants to do a quality check. During
inspection he picks an item from the stockpile at random. If the
chosen item is defective, then what is the probability that it is not
produced by the operator C? 2 marks
