Question

Why is Bayes' Theorem often called a method of finding reverse probability?

पर्याय

• It moves from an observed event to the event that may have caused it.

• It moves from a cause to an unobserved result.

• It removes all conditional probabilities.

• It applies only when events are not exhaustive.

Answer 1

Bayes' Theorem works backward from an observed event to a possible cause. This reverse direction distinguishes it from ordinary forward probability calculations.
