The probability Miss

Subject:StatisticsPrice:4.89 Bought3

The probability Miss. Lula will run into the other room for no reason is 73 percent.

When Miss Lula's sees her brush there is an 83 percent chance she will run to it and

a 17 percent chance she will run into the other room (cats are complicated creatures).

Miss Luna only sees her brush being taken out 68% of the time

 

Given that Miss Lula has run into the other room what is the probability she saw her brush?

The answer is 0.349

 

Let R  stands for  cat runs into a room 

M= Miss Cat sees her toy

Probability (R|M') = 0.73

P(R|M) = 0.83

P(M') = 0.68

P(M|R') = P(R|M)*P(M)/[P(R|M)*P(M)+P(R|M')*P(M')]

= 0.83*0.32/[0.83*0.32+0.73*0.68]

= 0.2656/[0.2656+0.4964]

= 0.349

Hence the correct answer is 0.349
