A trial mix was conducted to choose the best water-cement ratio for a designed high strength concrete. The first trial mix for water-cement ratio of 0.6 shows that 20% of the specimens fails to reach the designed strength. 45% of the fails specimen use seawater while another 55% use tap-water. Meanwhile, for specimens that achieved the designed strength, 60% of the specimen use seawater. By using Bayes' Theorem, determine the probability of fails specimens given that seawater was used.. Q1 (a)
