Suppose a girl throws a die. If she gets 1 or 2, she tosses a coin three times and notes the number of tails. If she gets 3,4,5 or 6, she tosses a coin once and notes whether a ‘head’ or ‘tail’ is obtained. If she obtained exactly one ‘tail’. What is the probability that she threw 3, 4, 5 s or 6 with the die?
Solution:
Let be the event that the outcome on the die is 1 or 2
P = =
let be the event that the outcome on the die is 3,4,5 or 6
P = =
let A be the event that exactly one tail comes
So
P = (A occurs given that had already occured, coin tossed thrice)
P = (A occures given that had already occured, coin tossed once
By Bayes's theorem, (A had already occured, probability that had occured)
