Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related Pre CAL.174 Apply Bayes Theorem in Simple Contexts skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which situation is a strong hint that you should use Bayes' Theorem rather than a simple conditional probability directly?

AYou are asked for P(E given A) and it is provided.

BYou are asked for P(A) and it is provided.

CYou are asked for P(A given E) but you are given P(E given A) along with a base rate for A and information about E when A is false.

DYou are asked for P(E) and it is provided.

Solution & Explanation:Choice C is correct. Bayes' Theorem is useful when you need P(A|E) but are given the reverse likelihood P(E|A), a base rate for A, and information about E when A is false.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

You computed P(Source 2|E)=0.26, P(Source 3|E)=0.31, and P(Source 4|E)=0.19 in a four-source problem. Without redoing everything, what must P(Source 1|E) be (up to rounding)?

A0.50

B0.15

C0.24

D0.76

Solution & Explanation:The four posterior probabilities should add to 1. The known posteriors add to 0.26+0.31+0.19=0.76, so P(Source 1|E)=1-0.76=0.24.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A multi-test problem assumes conditional independence. What does “independent given A” mean?

AThe tests are independent no matter what.

BKnowing the result of one test does not change the probability of another test result, once you assume whether A is true or false.

CThe prior probability P(A) equals 0.5.

DThe false-positive rates must match the sensitivities.

Solution & Explanation:Choice B is correct because it matches the requested conditional probability, interpretation, or Bayes expression. The information after the vertical bar is the condition, and Bayes' Theorem updates a prior using likelihoods and the total probability of the evidence.
