s published show that 20 % are huge​ successes, 30 % are modest​ successes, 30 % break​ even, and 20 % are losers. Before a decision is​ made, the book will be reviewed. In the​ past, 99 % of the huge successes received favorable​ reviews, 70 % of the moderate successes received favorable​ reviews, 40 % of the​ break-even books received favorable​ reviews, and 20 % of the losers received favorable reviews.

Answer:

34.86% probability that it will be huge​ success

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Receiving a favorable review.

Event B: Being a huge success.

Information on previous textbooks published show that 20 % are huge​ successes

This means that P(B) = 0.2

99 % of the huge successes received favorable​ reviews

This means that P(A|B) = 0.99

Probability of receiving a favorable review:

20% are huge​ successes. Of those, 99% receive favorable reviews.

30% are modest​ successes. Of those, 70% receive favorable reviews.

30% break​ even. Of those, 40% receive favorable reviews.

20% are losers. Of those, 20% receive favorable reviews.

Then

P(A) = 0.2*0.99 + 0.3*0.7 + 0.3*0.4 + 0.2*0.2 = 0.568

Finally

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.2*0.99}{0.568} = 0.3486

34.86% probability that it will be huge​ success
