Suppose that you are given a decision situation with three possible states of nature: S1, S2, and S3. The prior probabilities are P(S1) = 0.16, P(S2) = 0.57, and P(S3) = 0.27. With sample information I, P(I | S1) = 0.13, P(I | S2) = 0.07, and P(I | S3) = 0.19. Compute the revised or posterior probabilities: P(S1 | I), P(S2 | I), and P(S3 | I). If required, round your answers to four decimal places. State of Nature P (Sj|I) S1 fill in the blank 1 S2 fill in the blank 2 S3 fill in the blank 3 Total Probability fill in the blank 4

There are three kinds of vegetation in an ecosystem: grass (G), shrubs (S), and trees (T) (Bodine, Lenhart, and Gross 2014). Every year, 25% of grassland plots are converted to shrubs, 20% of shrub plots are converted to trees, 8% of trees are converted to shrubs, and 1% of trees are converted to grass; the other transition probabilities are 0. Calculate the probability of a plot of land have the following succession of vegetation from year to year: GSGG, taking the first state as given. (type three digits after the decimal).

A sample is selected from one of two populations, S, and S₂, with P(S₁) = 0.6 and P(S₂) = 0.4. The probabilities that an event A occurs, given that event S, or S₂ has occurred are P(A|S₂) = = 0.4 and P(AIS₂) = 0.3 and the probability of event A is P(A) = 0.36. Use Bayes' Rule to find P(S, IA).

The number of customers waiting for gift-wrap service at a department store is an rv X with possible values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and corresponding probabilities 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.25, 0.15. A randomly selected customer will have 1, 2, or 3 packages for wrapping with probabilities 0.5, 0.25, and 0.25, respectively. Let Y = the total number of packages to be wrapped for the customers waiting in line (assume that the number of packages submitted by one customer is independent of the number submitted by any other customer).

. Initial diagnosis of a patient’s illness was potentially flu (F), cold (C), or hay fever (H), with probabilities 0.1, 0.2, and 0.7 respectively. A lab test was then taken from the patient. Past tests on similar patients show the following conditional probabilities on the test result being positive (+), neutral (0), or negative (-):•P(+|F) = 0.7P(0|F) = 0.2P(-|F) = 0.1•P(+|C) = 0.1P(0|C) = 0.8P(-|C) = 0.1•P(+|H) = 0.1P(0|H) = 0.2P(-|H) = 0.7•Use the Bayes Theorem to estimate the respective probabilities of F, C, and H given that a +, 0, or – test result has been observed.
