Exercise 2.8

Answers

Let $A_{1}$ be the event that the screen is produced by company $A$ , $B_{1}$ be the event that the screen is produced by company $B$ , and $C_{1}$ be the event that the screen is produced by company $C$ . Let $D$ be the event that the screen is defective.

\begin{array}{l} P (A_{1} | D) & = \frac{P (A_{1}) P (D | A_{1})}{P (A_{1}) P (D | A_{1}) + P (A_{1}^{c}) P (D | A_{1}^{c})} \\ = \frac{P (A_{1}) P (D | A_{1})}{P (A_{1}) P (D | A_{1}) + P (A_{1}^{c}) (P (B_{1} | A_{1}^{c}) P (D | B_{1}, A_{1}^{c}) + P (C_{1} | A_{1}^{c}) P (D | C_{1}, A_{1}^{c}))} \\ = \frac{0.5 * 0.01}{0.5 * 0.01 + 0.5 * (0.6 * 0.02 + 0.4 * 0.03)} \\ = 0.29 \end{array}
