An online game uses software to attempt to find people cheating and ban their accounts. This game is notoriously easy to cheat in, and so 29% of players do cheat. The software in use is not the best; as a result, 38% of cheaters get banned, while the rest go unpunished. On the other hand, 7% of honest players get their accounts banned by mistake. Find the probability that a person who was banned deserved it.

Step 1

- Probability of cheating = 29% - Probability of getting banned if cheating = 38% - Probability of cheating and getting banned = 29% * 38% = 0.29 * 0.38 = 0.1102 or 11.02% Show more…
