Combining Proabilities
This is a problem about combining probabilities. Mark wants to find the probability that he will receive a reply to his post. He knows Ms. Smith is correct 75% of the time, and Mr. Jones is correct 60% of the time. Ms. Smith says he will not receive a reply, but Mr. Jones says he will receive a reply. Mark wants to know what the ultimate probability is that he will receive a reply. The problem goes on to explain how this can be solved. | Miranda J. Swanson |
