Question: You're travelling to Seattle and you've asked 3 of your friends independently if it will rain, | |
3 of them said it will. Each friend has 2/3 chances of being right. Should you bring an umbrella? | |
Assume chance of rain is 25% | |
P(rain) * P(yes | rain) | |
P(rain | yes) = ------------------------ | |
P(yes) | |
P(rain) = 0.25 | |
P(yes | rain) = P(yes and rain) / P(rain) = 0.25 * (2/3)^3 / 0.25 = 8/27 | |
P(yes) = P(rain) * P(yes | rain) + P(no rain) * P(yes | no rain) = 0.25 * 8/27 + 0.75 * 1/27 | |
0.25 * 8/27 | |
P(rain | yes) = ----------------------------- = 0.727 | |
(0.25 * 8/27 + 0.75 * 1/27) | |
