Question
Define unit vector.
✓
Answer
A vector whose modulus is unity is called a unit vector. The unit vector in the direction of a vector $\vec{\text{a}}$ is denoted by $\hat{\text{a}}$.
Thus, $|\hat{\text{a}}|=1$
Thus, $|\hat{\text{a}}|=1$

A factory has two machines A and B. Past record shows that machine A produced 60% of the items of output and machine B produced 40% of the items. Further, 2% of the items produced by machine A and 1% produced by machine B were defective. All the items are put into one stockpile and then one item is chosen at random from this and is found to be defective. What is the probability that it was produced by machine B?
Events A and B are such that $\text{P}(\text{A})=\frac{1}{2},\ \text{P}(\text{B})=\frac{7}{12}\ \text{and}\ \text{P}(\text{not A or not B})=\frac{1}{4}.$ State whether A and B are independent?
