Due to the high incidence of crime, a company is giving its employees new and secured access to the company. Instead of leaving the doors open, they are installing a card system.  To open the door, employees must insert a card into a slot.  If a green light comes on, it is okay to turn the handle and open the door; if a yellow light comes on it indicates the door is locked from inside and you cannot enter.  Suppose that 90% of the time when the card is inserted, the door should open because it is not locked from the inside.  When the door should open, the system makes errors 2% of the time.  That is, the green light will appear 98% of the time.  When the door should not open, the system makes errors 5% of the time (green light appears).  Suppose you inserted the card, and the light is green, what is the probability the door will open?

Question
  1. Due to the high incidence of crime, a company is giving its employees new and secured access to the company. Instead of leaving the doors open, they are installing a card system.  To open the door, employees must insert a card into a slot.  If a green light comes on, it is okay to turn the handle and open the door; if a yellow light comes on it indicates the door is locked from inside and you cannot enter.  Suppose that 90% of the time when the card is inserted, the door should open because it is not locked from the inside.  When the door should open, the system makes errors 2% of the time.  That is, the green light will appear 98% of the time.  When the door should not open, the system makes errors 5% of the time (green light appears).  Suppose you inserted the card, and the light is green, what is the probability the door will open?
