For example, a correct answer to Quiz1_V requires the student to master vectors (V),see Fig.2. This prompts P(Quiz1_V=C|V=known)=0.7 and P(Quiz1_V=X|V=known)=0.01where X is either A, B, or D. This conditional probability corresponding to answering correctlycan be easily constructed, however, the more interesting probability of answering incorrectlywhen the concept is not known is more challenging to define.

, production of metal objects using 3Dprinting technologies can be categorized into three groups of processes: 1. Pattern-based: where 3D-printed (plastic, starch, or wax) parts are used as patterns for casting. Direct 3D printing of molds can be included in this group. 2. Indirect: where an initial metal powder-based part is 3D printed, and then such part is heat-treated (or sintered) in a furnace 3. Direct: where parts are produced by either a) heat-joining of metal powder (powder bed fusion) or b) direct deposition of metal (wire or powder) with the aid of an external energy source (directed energy deposition).While the first group of processes can be easily implemented using inexpensive 3D
