Suppose that A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 are five mutually exclusive and exhaustive events in a sample space S, and suppose that P(A1)=0.2, P(A2)=0.1, P(A3) = 0.15, P(A4)=0.3, and P(A5)=0.25. Another event E in S is such that P(E|A1) = 0.2, P(E|A2)=0.1, P(E|A3)=0.35, P(E|A4)=0.3, and P(E|A5)=0.25. Find the probabilities P(A1|E), P(A2|E), P(A3|E), P(A4|E), and P(A5|E).

Question
Suppose that A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 are five mutually exclusive and exhaustive
events in a sample space S, and suppose that P(A1)=0.2, P(A2)=0.1, P(A3) =
0.15, P(A4)=0.3, and P(A5)=0.25. Another
0.2, P(E|A2)=0.1, P(E|A3)=0.35, P(E|A4)=0.3, and P(E|A5)=0.25. Find the
probabilities P(A1|E), P(A2|E), P(A3|E), P(A4|E), and P(A5|E).
