Thankyou 

The prior probabilities for events Aj and A, are P(A;) = 40 and P(A,) = .60. It is also
known that P(A, N 4) = 0. Suppose P(B | A¡) = .20 and P(B | A5) = .05.
Are A and A, mutually exclusive? Explain.
b. Compute P(A, N B) and P(A, N B).
c. Compute P(B).
d. Apply Bayes' theorem to compute P(A, I B) and P(A, | B).

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given : P(A_1)=0.40,P(A_2)=0.60,P(A_1\cap A_2)=0,P(B|A_1)=0.20,P(B|A_2)=0.05

Our claim is to answer the following : 

A) Are A1 and A2 mutually exclusive>

B) Compute P(A_1\cap B)\&P(A_2\cap B)

Here , student ask the answer of part (A) and (B) only.
