Assume that p(a) = 0.6 and p(b) = 0.2, and p(a/b) = 0.1. What is the p(a or b)?
Added by Matthew G.
Step 1
1, which means the probability of event a occurring given that event b has occurred is .1. This can be written as: p(a|b) = .1 Using Bayes' theorem, we can also write: p(a|b) = p(a and b) / p(b) We can rearrange this equation to solve for p(a and b): p(a and Show more…
