Bayes' Theorem Probability Quiz

What is the formula for conditional probability?

• P(A|B) = P(A) / P(B)

• P(A|B) = P(A) - P(B)

• P(A|B) = P(A) * P(B)

• P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)

Explain Bayes' theorem and provide an example of its application.

• Bayes' theorem is used in medical diagnosis, such as in the case of a patient testing positive for a disease and the calculation of the actual probability of having the disease given the test result and the prevalence of the disease in the population.

• Bayes' theorem is used in cooking recipes, such as calculating the probability of a dish turning out well based on the ingredients used

• Bayes' theorem is used in weather forecasting, such as predicting the chance of rain based on historical data

• Bayes' theorem is used in sports betting, such as determining the likelihood of a team winning based on their previous performance

A bag contains 3 red balls and 2 green balls. If a ball is drawn at random, what is the probability that it is red given that it is not green?

• 1/5

• 3/5

• 4/5

What is the difference between marginal probability and conditional probability?

• Marginal probability is the probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred, while conditional probability is the probability of an event occurring without any condition.

• Marginal probability is the probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred, while conditional probability is the probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred.
