The conditional Probability of A1 given B is P(A1/B)
By Bayes’ theorem
P(A1/B) = `("P"("A"_1) * "P"("B"/"A"_1))/("P"("A"_1) * "P"("B"/"A"_1) + "P"("A"_2) * "P"("B"/"A"_2))`
= `(1/2 xx 3/5)/(1/2 xx 3/5 + 1/2 xx 1/2)`
= `(3/10)/(3/10 + 1/4)`
= `(3/10)/((6 + 5)/20)`
P(A1/B) = `3/10 xx 20/11`
= `6/11`

Mr. X goes to office by Auto, Car, and train. The probabilities him travelling by these modes are `2/7, 3/7, 2/7` respectively. The chances of him being late to the office are `1/2, 1/4, 1/4` respectively by Auto, Car, and train. On one particular day, he was late to the office. Find the probability that he travelled by car.
Solution: Let A, C and T be the events that Mr. X goes to office by Auto, Car and Train respectively. Let L be event that he is late.
Given that P(A) = `square`, P(C) = `square`
P(T) = `square`
P(L/A) = `1/2`, P(L/C) = `square` P(L/T) = `1/4`
P(L) = P(A ∩ L) + P(C ∩ L) + P(T ∩ L)
`="P"("A")*"P"("L"//"A") + "P"("C")*"P"("L"//"C") + "P"("T")*"P"("L"//"T")`
`= square * square + square * square + square * square`
`= square + square + square`
`= square`
`"P"("C"//"L") = ("P"("L" ∩ "C"))/("P"("L"))`
= `("P"("C") * "P"("L"//"C"))/("P"("L"))`
`= (square * square)/square`
`= square`
