A study tracked a large group of people for 10 years. At the start of the study, 20% were heavy smokers (H), 30% were light smokers (L), and 50% were non-smokers (N). The interest of the study was whether the people in the study died during the study (D) or not die (Dc ). The probability that a light smoker died during the study was twice that of the probability of a non-smoker dying. Also, the probability that light smoker died during the study was half that of the probability of a heavy smoker dying. A randomly selected person from the study died during the study. What is the probability that this person was a heavy smoker (given they died, what is the probability they were a heavy smoker H)?
A jet fighter consists of two engines. The probability that the second engine functions in a satisfactory manner during its design life is 0.96, and the probability that at least one if the two engines does so is 0.98 and the probability that both engine do so is 0.935. Given that the first engine functions in a satisfactory manner throughout its design life, what is the probability that the second one also?
