Question
Events A₁ and A2 are mutually exclusive and form a complete
partition of a sample space S with P(A₁) =0.48. If E is an
event in S with P (E| A₁) =0.25 and P(E|A₂) = 0.09,
compute P(A₁ | E) =? (Hint: Because A₁ and A2 are mutually
exclusive and form a complete partition of the sample space,
P(A₂) = 1-P (A₁)).
Note: If your final answer has up to four decimal places, please enter your
full answer without rounding it. If your answer contains more than four
decimal places, please round it to four decimal places before entering it in
the box below.
