Problem 55EC

College EnrollmentAn admissions director knows that the probability a student will enroll after a campus visit is 0.55, or P(E) = 0.55. While students are on campus visits, interviews with professors are arranged. The admissions director computes these conditional probabilities for students enrolling after visiting three professors, DW, LP, and MH.

P(E|DW) = 0.95

P(E|LP) = 0.55

P(E|MH) = 0.15

Is there something wrong with the numbers? Explain
