Use Bayes' Theorem or a Tree Diagram to Calculate the Indicated

Question 24

Multiple Choice

Use Bayes' theorem or a tree diagram to calculate the indicated probability. Round the answer to four decimal places. Y1Y _ { 1 } , Y2Y _ { 2 } , Y3Y _ { 3 } form a partition of S.
P(XY1) =0.2P \left( X \mid Y _ { 1 } \right) = 0.2 , P(XY2) =0.3P \left( X \mid Y _ { 2 } \right) = 0.3 , P(XY3) =0.5P \left( X \mid Y _ { 3 } \right) = 0.5 , P(Y1) =0.3P \left( Y _ { 1 } \right) = 0.3 , P(Y2) =0.4P \left( Y _ { 2 } \right) = 0.4 .

Find P(Y2X) P \left( Y _ { 2 } \mid X \right) .


A) P(Y2X) =0.009P \left( Y _ { 2 } \mid X \right) = 0.009
B) P(Y2X) =0.1818P \left( Y _ { 2 } \mid X \right) = 0.1818
C) P(Y2X) =0.6364P \left( Y _ { 2 } \mid X \right) = 0.6364
D) P(Y2X) =0.3636P \left( Y _ { 2 } \mid X \right) = 0.3636
E) P(Y2X) =0.4545P \left( Y _ { 2 } \mid X \right) = 0.4545
