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: Tests indicates guilty
Event B: Person is guilty
Probability that the test indicates that the person is guilty:
4/5 = 0.8 of 1/100 = 0.01(person is guilty)
1 - 0.9 = 0.1 of 1 - 0.99(person is not guilty). So
Test indicates guilty and the person is guilty;
0.01 of 0.8. So
What is the probability that he is guilty?
0.0748 = 7.48% probability that he is guilty
