Problem 56EC
CommercialsEvent A is the event that aperson remembers a certain product commercial. Event B is the event that a person buys the product. If P(B) = 0.35, comment on each of these conditional probabilities if you were vice president for sales.
a. P(B|A) = 0.20
b. P(B|A) = 0.35
c. P(B|A) = 0.55
ANSWER:
Answer
Step 1 of 3
(a)
We have given the event that a person remembers a certain product commercial.
Event is the event that a person buys the product.
If comment on each of these conditional probabilities if you were vice president for sales.
……(1)
From equation (1), we can see that the events are dependent.
Since the probability that a person buys the product (0.35) is more than the probability that a person buys the product given that a person remembers a certain product commercial (0.20), hence commercial here does not helps to achieve the sales.
