Suppose that you are given a decision situation with three possible states of nature: S1, S2, and S3. The prior probabilities are P(S1) = 0.20, P(S2) = 0.50, and P(S3) = 0.30. With sample information I, P(I | S1) = 0.10, P(I | S2) = 0.05, and P(I | S3) = 0.20. 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 S2 S3

A machine has four components a,b,c,d set up in such a manner that all four parts must work for the machine to work properly. assume the probability of one part does not depend on the functioning of any of the other parts. Also assume that the probabilities of the individual part working are p(a) =p(b)=0.98, p(c)= 0.91, and p(d)=0.93 find the probability that the machine works properly round to the nearest ten- thousandth
A contractor plans to acquire new bulldozer for a new project. From experience, there is 50% chance that each bulldozer can remain operational for at least 6 months.

5D There are three kinds of vegetation in an ecosystem: grass (G), shrubs (S), and trees (T) . 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 ofwa plot of land have the following succession of vegetation from year to year: GSGG. 5E The NACHR ion channel can be in one of three states: resting (R), closed with Ach bound (C), and open (O) with transition probabilities (per one microsecond): 0.04 (from to C), 0.07 (from C to R), 0.12 (from C to O) and 0.02 (from O to C); the other transition probabilities are 0. Calculate the probability of the following string of states: OCCR.
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). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
A student will take two trainee selection exams for companies A and B, respectively. He estimates the probability that he will pass the exam.Company A's selection rate is 2/3. In company B, the probability of approval is 3/4. Finally, the probability of being approved in both processes simultaneously is of 50%. Under these conditions, what is the probability of passing only one of the companies?

Suppose I flip a fair coin n = 20 times. A psychic tries to predict the outcome before each flip. Three researchers have different ideas about the psychic's ability. There is Sydney, the Skeptic (S), who thinks the psychic's success rate is between 49% and 51%. There is Morgan, the Mark, M, who thinks that the psychic's success rate is 80%. And there is Carter, the Cynic (C), who thinks the psychic's success rate is 10%. Specifically: S+ 0 ~ U(.49, .51) M + 0 = .80 C0 = .10 %3D In all cases, assume the number of successful predictions follows a binomial distribution with success rate 0. Usek for the number of successes and n for the number of trials. Given all that: Determine the formula for the Bayes factor (a.k.a., likelihood ratio) supporting Carter over Morgan. Call that Bayes factor Bc:M Determine the formula for the Bayes factor (a.k.a., likelihood ratio) supporting Morgan over Sydney.

Your car is making a funny noise. You believe that the problem is either with the wheel or the axle, and you believe the probability is 0.3 that the wheel needs to be replaced, and 0.7 that the axle needs to be replaced. You need to decide whether to replace the wheel or the axle first. The cost of each alternative is given in the following table (if you decided to replace the wrong part first, you have to replace both of them). The Wheel is broken p = 0.3 The Axle is broken p = 0.7 Replace Wheel First Replace Axle First 600 1500 1500 900 a) Find the EV of each decision alternative. Which part should you replace first? b) What is the EVPI?
