    In a fruit‐packing facility, 3% of apples are bruised, and the remaining 97% are unbruised. A quality‐control scanner tests each apple:

    • Let B= apple is bruised and U= apple is unbruised.

    • Let T= scanner flags apple as bruised and T′= scanner does not flag.

    It is known that P(T∣B)=0.95 and P(T∣U)=0.08.

    1. Calculate P(B∩T).

      [2]

    An apple is flagged.

    1. Determine the probability it is actually bruised, P(B∣T).

    At a logistics hub two events are recorded for every shipment :

    • E : The shipment arrives at the hub on schedule.

    • F : The shipment leaves the hub on schedule.

    It is given that the chance a shipment arrives on schedule is 60%, the chance a shipment leaves on schedule is 80%, and the chance a shipment both arrives and leaves on schedule is 50%.

    1. Show that events E and F are not independent.

      [2]
    2. Find P(E∩F′).

      [2]
    3. Given that a shipment arrives on schedule, find the probability it does not leave on schedule.
