Given : A company produces batteries. On average, 85% of all batteries produced are good. Each battery is tested before being dispatched, and the inspector correctly classifies the battery 90% of the time.

To find :  A. What percentage of the batteries will be “classified as good”?

B. What is the probability that a battery is defective given that it was classified as good?

Solution:

Good Batteries  = 85 %

Not good Batteries  = 100 - 85 %  = 15 %

inspector correctly classifies the battery 90% of the time.

=> 100 - 90 % = 10 % is incorrect classification

Classified Good batteries out of 85 %  good   =  (90/100) 85 % = 76.5 %

Classified not good Batteries out of 85 %  good = (10/100) 85 %  = 8.5 %

Classified not Good batteries out of 15 %  not good =  (90/100) 15 % = 13.5 %

Classified Good Batteries out of 15 %  not good  = (10/100) 15 %  = 1.5 %

percentage of the batteries classified as good  = 76.5  + 1.5  =  78 %

Classified  good  and actual good  = 76.5 %

Classified Good and actual not good ( defective)  = 1.5 %

probability that a battery is defective given that it was classified as good

=  (1.5)/(1.5 + 76.5)

= 1.5/78

= 1/52

= 1.92 %

78 % of the batteries will be “classified as good"

probability that a battery is defective given that it was classified as good = 1.92 %
