P(A|B) = p(A n B)/p(B)

okay, so p(A|B)=p(B)=1/3 How would you go about solving p(B|A)?

Q. Consider the following statements about events A, B, and C. - p(A) = 2/3 - p(B) = 1/2 - B c A - Events A and C are independent - Events B and C are mutually exclusive Given that B is a subset of A is what is P(A n B). B is completely contained in A so any point in B is also in A...

awesome thanks

i have a page full of calculations. they keep changing everytime i try something new. 0.077 is what I am getting now man any ideas?

The Probability that the test is wrong would then equal 0.007

I come up with 0.098, but i believe that is wrong. Other than that, I have no idea. Can you elaborate a little bit?

Okay sweet! Okay what if it ask What is the probability the test is wrong...What would i do in that instance?

would work down to something like: (99.9% x 93%) + (10.3% x 0.07%) =0.93628 ??

Okay! So would the probability that a rest result states the gene is detected be 0.936?

Q. A certain gene is necessary for certain protein synthesis in human beings. A new kind of test can detect the gene in people who have the gene 99.9% of the time, and falsely detects the gene 10.3% of the time when a person does not carry the gene. 93% of the population carries the gene...
