Higbee Manufacturing Corp has recently received 5 cases of a certain part from one of its suppliers. The defect rate for the parts is normally 5, but the supplier has just notified Higbee that one of the cases shipped to them has been made on a misaligned machine that has a defect rate of 97. So the plant manager selects a case at random and tests a part.
 a. What is the probability that the part is defective?
  b. Suppose the part is defective, what is the probability that this is from the case made on the misaligned machine?
  c. After finding that the first part was defective, suppose a second part from the case is tested. However, this part is found to be good. Using the revised probabilities from part (b) compute the new probability of these parts being from the defective case.
  d. Do you think you would obtain the same posterior probabilities as in part (c) if the first part was not found to be defective but the second part was?
  e. Suppose, because of other evidence, the plant manager was 80 certain this case was the one made on the misaligned machine. How would your answer to part (b) change?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
