Question
The prior probabilities for events A, and Az are P(A1) = 0.40 and P(A2) = 0.60. It is also known that P(A, n A2)=0. Suppose P(B|A1) = 0.10 and P(B|A2) = 0.20.
a. Are events A1 and Ag mutually exclusive?
Select your answer-
Explain.
(i) P(A1 N A2) = 0
(ii) P(A1) + P(A2) = 1
(iii) P(A2) P (A2 | A1)
(iv) P(A2) = P(A2 | A1)
- Select your ans wer - ♥
b. Compute P(A1N B) (to 2 decimals).
Compute P(A2 nB) (to 2 decimals).
C. Compute P(B) (to 2 decimals).
Apply Bayes' theorem to compute P(A1 B) (to 4 decimals).
Also apply Bayes' theorem to compute P(A2|B) (to 4 decimals).
