Harrison Water Sports has two retail outlets: Seattle and Portland. The Seattle store does 60 percent of the total sales in a year. Further analysis indicates that if a sale is made in Seattle, there is 0.40 probability this is a sale of boat accessories, while if a sale is made at the Portland store this probability is 0.20. If Harrison Water Sports knows that a boat accessory has been sold, what is the probability this sale has occurred in Seattle:
a. |
0.24 |
|
b. |
2/3 |
|
c. |
3/4 |
|
d. |
None of the above |
We use Bayes Theorem
Let S and P denote the events of sale in Seattle and Portland.
Let B denote a sale of boat accessory.
Given,
P(S) = 60% = 0.6
P(P) = 1- 0.6 = 0.4
P(B/S) = 0.4
P(B/P) = 0.2
Ans is c) 3/4
