MSELFtest 23. Suppose that you are given a decision situation with three possible states of nature: 81, 82, and 83. The prior probabilities are P(s₁) = 0.2, P(82) = 0.5, and P(83) = 0.3. With sample information I, P(I | s₁) = 0.1, P(I|s2) = 0.05 , and P(I|83) = 0.2. Compute the revised or posterior probabilities: P(s₁|I), P(82|I), and P(831).

Exercise 4. A certain species of plant always has either three or five leaves. The number is random, with P(3 leaves) 0.4 and P(5 leaves) = 0.6. Each plant has a flower which, randomly, is either open or closed, with probabilities P(open) = 0.8 and P(closed) = 0.2. A botanist collects 1000 randomly chosen plants from this species and nds the following distribution of traits: open closed N3,closed 3 leaves N3,open 5 leaves NE,open N5, closed a) Assuming the two traits are independent, determine the expectations of the counts №3,open, N3,closed, N5,0-en, and N5,close in the table. b) Determine an approximate value for the probability P(N3,open > 340).
