A plane is missing and is presumed to have equal probability of going down in any of three regions. If a plane is actually down in region i, let 1 − αi denote the probability that the plane will be found upon a search of the ith region, i = 1, 2, 3. What is the conditional probability that the plane is in a region 1, given that the search of region 1 was unsuccessful? b region 2, given that the search of region 1 was unsuccessful? c region 3, given that the search of region 1 was unsuccessful?
