Bayes' theorem provides a way to transform prior probabilities into posterior probabilities. Group of answer choices True False

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes' theorem is indeed a way of transforming prior probabilities into posterior probabilities. It is based on the principle of conditional probability. Conditional probability is the possibility that an event will occur because it is dependent on another event.

The prior probability in this theorem is the present understanding we possess about the possible outcome of an event based on the current understanding we have about the subject. Posterior probability on the other hand is the new understanding we have of the subject matter based on an experiment that has just been performed on it. Bayes' Theorem finds widespread application which includes the fields of science and finance. In the finance world, for example, Bayes' theorem is used to determine the probability of a debt being repaid by a debtor.
