Slide 11

• Example: Solving probability problems using Bayes Theorem.
  • A survey is conducted to determine the probability of a student passing mathematics and physics exams.
  • The results show that 70% of the students who passed physics also passed mathematics, while 60% of those who passed mathematics also passed physics.
  • If the probability of passing physics is 0.8, what is the probability of passing mathematics?
  • Using Bayes Theorem:
    • P(Physics | Passed) = 0.8
    • P(Passed | Math) = 0.6
    • P(Physics) = ?
    • P(Math) = ?

Slide 12

• Solution:
  • Let P(Physics) = x and P(Math) = y.
  • P(Passed | Physics) = 0.7 (70%)
  • P(Passed | Math) = 0.6 (60%)
  • P(Passed) = ?
• Using Bayes Theorem:
  • P(Passed) = P(Physics) * P(Passed | Physics) + P(Math) * P(Passed | Math)
• Substituting the given values:
  • P(Passed) = x * 0.7 + y * 0.6
• We also know P(Physics) = 0.8.

Slide 13

• Substituting the known values:
  • 0.8 = x * 0.7 + y * 0.6
• We have two equations:
  • 0.8 = x * 0.7 + y * 0.6
  • P(Passed) = x * 0.7 + y * 0.6
• Solving these equations simultaneously will give the values of x and y.

Slide 14

• Equation 1: 0.8 = x * 0.7 + y * 0.6
• Equation 2: P(Passed) = x * 0.7 + y * 0.6
• Solving the equations simultaneously:
  • Using substitution or elimination method.

Slide 15

• After solving the equations, we get the values of x and y as:
  • x = 0.64
  • y = 0.4
• Substituting these values back into the equation P(Passed) = x * 0.7 + y * 0.6, we can find the probability of passing mathematics.

Slide 16

• P(Passed) = x * 0.7 + y * 0.6
• Substituting the values of x and y:
  • P(Passed) = 0.64 * 0.7 + 0.4 * 0.6
• Performing the calculations:
  • P(Passed) = 0.56 + 0.24
  • P(Passed) = 0.8

Slide 17

• The probability of passing mathematics is 0.8.
• Summary of the solution:
  • P(Physics) = 0.8
  • P(Math) = 0.4
  • P(Passed) = 0.8
• Hence, the probability of passing mathematics is 0.4.

Slide 21

• Recap of Bayes Theorem:
  • P(A | B) = (P(A) * P(B | A)) / P(B).
• Example:
  • A bag contains 4 red balls and 6 blue balls.
  • Two balls are drawn without replacement.
  • What is the probability that both of them are red?
• Solution:
  • Let A be the event that the first ball drawn is red.
  • Let B be the event that the second ball drawn is red given that the first ball is red.

Slide 22

• Calculation of prior probability:
  • P(A) = (Number of red balls) / (Total number of balls)
  • P(A) = 4 / 10
  • P(A) = 2 / 5
• Calculation of likelihood:
  • P(B | A) = (Number of red balls remaining) / (Total number of balls remaining)
  • P(B | A) = 3 / 9
  • P(B | A) = 1 / 3

Slide 23

• Calculation of evidence:
  • P(B) = (Number of red balls in the bag) / (Total number of balls)
  • P(B) = 4 / 10
  • P(B) = 2 / 5
• Substituting the values into Bayes Theorem:
  • P(A | B) = (P(A) * P(B | A)) / P(B)
  • P(A | B) = (2 / 5) * (1 / 3) / (2 / 5)

Slide 24

• Simplifying the equation:
  • P(A | B) = 2 / 3
• Therefore, the probability that both balls drawn are red is 2/3.
• Recap of the solution:
  • P(A | B) = 2 / 3
  • P(A) = 2 / 5
  • P(B | A) = 1 / 3
  • P(B) = 2 / 5

Slide 25

• Example:
  • A box contains 3 red balls and 4 blue balls.
  • Two balls are drawn with replacement.
  • What is the probability that both balls are red?
• Solution:
  • Let A be the event that the first ball drawn is red.
  • Let B be the event that the second ball drawn is red given that the first ball is red.

Slide 26

• Calculation of prior probability:
  • P(A) = (Number of red balls) / (Total number of balls)
  • P(A) = 3 / 7
• Calculation of likelihood:
  • Since the balls are drawn with replacement, the probability of drawing a red ball remains the same in each draw.
  • P(B | A) = P(A), as the probability of drawing a red ball remains the same.

Slide 27

• Calculation of evidence:
  • P(B) = (Number of red balls) / (Total number of balls)
  • P(B) = 3 / 7
• Substituting the values into Bayes Theorem:
  • P(A | B) = (P(A) * P(B | A)) / P(B)
  • P(A | B) = (3 / 7) * (3 / 7) / (3 / 7)

Slide 28

• Simplifying the equation:
  • P(A | B) = 9 / 49
• Therefore, the probability that both balls drawn are red is 9/49.
• Recap of the solution:
  • P(A | B) = 9 / 49
  • P(A) = 3 / 7
  • P(B | A) = 3 / 7
  • P(B) = 3 / 7

Slide 29

• Bayes Theorem and independent events:
  • If events A and B are independent, then P(B | A) = P(B).
• Example:
  • Tossing a fair coin twice.
  • Event A: Getting heads on the first toss.
  • Event B: Getting heads on the second toss.
• Since the events are independent, P(B | A) = P(B) = 1/2.
