A couple things to note about our table (1) + (3) = .4 and (2) + (4) = .6.
|
||||
(1) + (2) + (3) + (4) = 1.
|
||||
|
||||
(1) $P(A \cap B) = P(A|B)P(B)$ we know the likelihood of $L(B|A) = P(A|B)$ and we also
|
||||
(1.) $P(A \cap B) = P(A|B)P(B)$ we know the likelihood of $L(B|A) = P(A|B)$ and we also
|
||||
know the prior so we insert these to get
|
||||
$$ P(A \cap B) = P(A|B)P(B) = .267 \times .4 = .1068$$
|
||||
|
||||
(3) $P(A^c \cap B) = P(A^c|B)P(B)$ in this case we do know the prior $P(B) = .4$, but we
|
||||
(3.) $P(A^c \cap B) = P(A^c|B)P(B)$ in this case we do know the prior $P(B) = .4$, but we
|
||||
don't directly know the value of $P(A^c|B)$, however, we note that $P(A|B) + P(A^c|B) = 1$,
|
||||
therefore we compute $P(A^c|B) = 1 - P(A|B) = 1 - .267 = .733$
|
||||
$$ P(A^c \cap B) = P(A^c|B)P(B) = .733 \times .4 = .2932$$
|
||||
|
||||
we now can confirm that $.1068 + .2932 = .4$
|
||||
we now can confirm that $.1068 + .2932 = .4$
|
||||
|
||||
Moving on to (2), (4)
|
||||
|
||||
(2.) $P(A \cap B^c) = P(A|B^c)P(B^c)$. In this case know the likelihood $L(B^c|A) = P(A|B^c)$ and
|
||||
we know the prior $P(B^c)$ therefore,
|
||||
$$P(A \cap B^c) = P(A|B^c)P(B^c) = .022 \times .6 = .0132$$
|
||||
|
||||
(4.) $P(A^c \cap B^c) = P(A^c|B^c)P(B^c) = (1 - .022) \times .6 = .5868$
|
||||
|
||||
and can confirm that $.0132 + .5868 = .6$
|
||||
|
||||
and we can fill the rest of the table:
|
||||
|
||||
| | $B$ | $B^c$ | Total |
|
||||
|------|---- |------ |-------|
|
||||
|$A$ | .1068 | .0132 | .12 |
|
||||
|$A^c$ | .2932 | .5868 | .88 |
|
||||
|Total | .4 | .6 | 1 |
|
||||
|
||||
An important concept we implemented in above is the idea of **total probability**

|
||||
## total probability
|
||||
|
||||
The **total probability** of observing a real article is made up the sum of its
|
||||
parts. Namely
|
||||
|
||||
$$P(B^c) = P(A \cap B^c) + P(A^c \cap B^c)$$
|
||||
$$=P(A|B^c)P(B^c) + P(A^c|B^c)P(B^c)$$
|
||||
$$=.0132 + .5868 = .6$$
