QUESTION:

According to Bayes’ Theorem, the probability of event A, given that event B has occurred, is

\(P(A \mid B)=\frac{P(A) \cdot P(B \mid A)}{P(A) \cdot P(B \mid A)+P\left(A^{\prime}\right) \cdot P\left(B \mid A^{\prime}\right)}\).

In Exercises 33–36, use Bayes’ Theorem to find \(P(A|B)\).

\(P(A)=0.25, P\left(A^{\prime}\right)=0.75, P(B \mid A)=0.3, \text { and } P\left(B \mid A^{\prime}\right)=0.5\)  

Equation Transcription:

Text Transcription:

P(A|B)=P(A)P(B|A)P(A)P(B|A)+P(A')P(B|A')

P(A|B)

P(A)=0.25,P(A')=0.75,P(B|A)=0.3, and P(B|A')=0.5

P(A|B)

P(A)=0.25,P(A')=0.75,P(B|A)=0.3, and P(B|A')=0.5

ANSWER:

Solution:

Step 1 of 2:

It is given that according to Bayes’ theorem, the conditional  probability of event A given event B is given by

P(A/B)=

where

P(A)=0.25

P(0.75

P(B/A)=0.3

P(B/=0.5

Using these values we need to find the value of P(A/B).
