问题如下:
In country X, the probability that a letter sent through the postal system reaches its destination is 2/3. Assume that each postal delivery is independent of every other postal delivery, and assume that if a wife receives a letter from her husband, she will certainly mail a response to her husband. Suppose a man in country X mails a letter to his wife (also in country X) through the postal system. If the man does not receive a response letter from his wife, what is the probability that his wife received his letter?
选项:
A.1/3
B.3/5
C.2/3
D.2/5
解释:
D is correct.
考点Bayes' formula
解析
(Notices: if the wife did not receive the letter, she would not send response to the man.)
Note:
A: the wife received the letter; : the wife did not receive the letter;
B: the man received a response letter from his wife; : the man did not receive a response letter from his wife
The question "If the man does not receive a response letter from his wife, what is the probability that his wife received his letter?" is equal to figure out
考点:正态分布查表
解析: 题目说信可以成功寄到的概率是2/3,假设每次送信都是独立事件。同时假设妻子如果收到丈夫的信就一定会回复。问题问如果丈夫没有收到回信,那她的妻子收到丈夫的信的概率是多少?
首先丈夫没有收到回信的条件有两种情况:1.丈夫的寄信丢了,就是上面那个二叉树的下面一根,概率是1/3;2.丈夫的信寄到了,但是妻子的回信寄丢了(1/3),这种情况下概率为1/3*(2/3)=2/9
所以这两种情况下概率加和=1/3+2/9=5/9
根据贝叶斯公式,
如果丈夫没有收到回信,那她的妻子收到丈夫的信的概率=(2/9)/(5/9)=2/5
为什么是beyes 公式,不是条件概率吗 P(A|B)
