At a production process, the produced items are tested for defects. A defective unit is classified as such with probability 0.9, whereas a correct unit is classified as such with probability 0.85. Furthermore, 10% of the produced units are defective. Compute the conditional probability that a unit is defective, given that is has been classified as such.

We use Baye's theorem:  P(A)P(B|A) = P(B)P(A|B)

with (A) being defective and

(B) marked as defective

we have to find P(B) = P(A).P(B|A) + P(¬A)P(B|¬A). eq(2)

Since  P(A) = 0.1 and P(B|A)=0.9,

P(¬A) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9

and

P(B|A¬) = 1 - P(¬B|¬A) = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15

put these values in eq(2)

P(B) = (0.1 × 0.9) + (0.9 × 0.15)

       = 0.225 put this in eq(1) and solve for P(B)

P(B) = 0.4

well, you see here, jamal was born to 2 parents, his mother who he lives with and his father who left at a young age and who happens to be younger than him. he stole cookies because he has to steal food due to the fact that he spends his government poverty checks on pot and women.
