उत्तर
Let event S: Student is a good singer,
event B: Student is a boy,
event G: Student is a girl.
Since the ratio of boys to girls is 3:2 and
3 girls out of 500 and 2 boys out of 50 are good singers.
∴ P(B) = `3/5`, P(G) = `2/5`, `"P"("S"/"G") = 3/500`, `"P"("S"/"B") = 2/50`.
`"P"("S") = "P"("G") xx "P"("S"/"G") + "P"("B") xx "P"("S"/"B")`
= `2/5 xx 3/500 + 3/5 xx 2/50`
= `(2xx3)/5(1/500+1/50)`
= `6/5 xx 11/500`
= `33/1250`
Required probability = `"P"("G"/"S")`
By Bayes’ theorem,
`"P"("G"/"S") = ("P"("G") "P"("S"/"G"))/("P"("S")`
= `(2/5 xx 3/500)/(33/1250)`
= `1/11`

A laboratory blood test is 99% effective in detecting a certain disease when it is in fact, present. However, the test also yields a false positive result for 0.5% of the healthy person tested (that is, if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability 0.005, the test will imply he has the disease). If 0.1 percent of the population actually has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive?

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`
