Suppose that B1 and B2 are mutually exclusive events, such that P(B1)=.6 and P(B2)=.4. Let A be an event such that P(A|B1) =.2, P(A|B2)= .5 find P(A)
Added by Kathy C.
Step 1
- We have P(B1) = 0.6 and P(B2) = 0.4. - We also have the conditional probabilities: P(A|B1) = 0.2 and P(A|B2) = 0.5. Show more…

Suppose that B1 and B2 are mutually exclusive and complementary events, such that P(B1) = .6 and P(B2)= .4. Consider another event A such that P(A | B1) =.2 and P(A | B2) = .5. Find P(B1 | A). Select one: A. .240 B. .625 C. .800 D. .375

Suppose the events B1, B2, and B3 are mutually exclusive and complementary events, such that P(B1) = 0.05, P(B2) = 0.6, and P(B3) = 0.35. Consider another event A such that P(A|B1) = 0.7, P(A|B2) = 0.5, and P(A|B3) = 0.4. Use Bayes's Rule to find P(B2|A).

Solve the problem. Suppose that B1 and B2 are mutually exclusive and complementary events, such that P(B1) = .6 and P(B2) = .4. Consider another event A such that P(A | B1) = .2 and P(A | B2) = .5. Find P(B1 | A).
