Given Probabilities: | Probability |
P(inspected car has problems) |
P(inspected car has no problems) |
P(no problem found | inspected car has problems) |
P(problem found | inspected car has problems) |
P(no problem found | inspected car has no problems) |
P(problem found | inspected car has no problems) |
|
1. The goal is to find P(inspected car has problems | no problem was found). |
|
P(inspected car has problems | no problem was found) = | | |
P(inspected car has problems AND no problem found)/P(no problem found) = |
P(no problem found | inspected car has problems)*P(inspected car has problems)/ |
(P(no problem found | inspected car has problems)*P(inspected car has problems) + |
P(no problem found | inspected car has no problems)*P(inspected car has no problems)) |
which is equal to …(results) |
|
2. Provide a brief clarification discussion about your results. |
