Question

Question 3 (15 pts) David is conducting an experiment to test a new medication's effectiveness for treating a particular illness. He administers the medication to a patient and observes a significant improvement in their symptoms. However, there's a chance that the improvement could be due to factors other than the medication itself. Suppose the probability of a patient experiencing such improvement solely due to a placebo effect is 20%. If the medication indeed works, David estimates the chance of observing this improvement to be 90%. 2 Given that a patient shows improvement after taking the medication, what is the proba- bility that the improvement is indeed because of the medication and not due to a placebo effect?
