Your production line has an automatic scanner to detect defects. In recent production, 2% of items have been defective. Given that an item is defective, the scanner has a 90% chance of identifying it as defective. Of the nondirective items, the scanner has a 90% chance of identifying it correctly as nondirective. Given that the scanner identifies a part as defective, find the conditional probability that the part is truly defective.
An investor considers investing $17,000 in the stock market. He believes that the probability is 0.22 that the economy will improve, 0.42 that it will stay the same, and 0.36 that it will deteriorate.
