A consulting firm submitted a bid for a large research project. The firm's management initially felt there was a 50/50 chance of
getting the bid. However, the agency to which the bid was submitted subsequently requested additional information on the bid. Experience indicates that on 75% of the successful bids and 40% of the unsuccessful bids the agency requested additional information. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.1. What is the prior probability of the bid being successful (that is, prior to the request for additional information)?2. What is the conditional probability of a request for additional information given that the bid will ultimately be successful?3. Compute the posterior probability that the bid will be successful given a request for additional information (to 2 decimals).
A tsunami's trough, the low point beneath the wave's crest, often reaches shore first. When it does, it produces a vacuum effect that sucks coastal water seaward and exposes harbor and sea floors. As the tsunami approaches water is drawn back from the beach to effectively help feed the wave. In a tide the wave is so long that this happens slowly, over a few hours.
