Answer:
0.7385 = 73.85% probability that it is indeed a sample of copied work.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
In this question:
Event A: Identified as a copy
Event B: Is a copy
Probability of being identified as a copy:
80% of 15%(copy)
100 - 95 = 5% of 100 - 15 = 85%(not a copy). So
Probability of being identified as a copy and being a copy.
80% of 15%. So
What is the probability that it is indeed a sample of copied work?
0.7385 = 73.85% probability that it is indeed a sample of copied work.
