Two groups are competing for the positions of the board of Directors of a Corporation. The probabilities that the first and the second groups will win are 0.6 and 0.4 respectively. Further if the first group wins the probability of introducing a new product is 0.7 and the corresponding probability is 0.3 if the second group wins. Find the probability that the new product introduced was by the second group.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`P(E_{1})=` Probability of first group wins `=0.6`

`P(E_{2})=` Probability of second group wins `=0.4`

`P(A | E_{1})=` Probability of introducing a new product if the first group wins `=0.7`

`{P}({A} | {E}_{2})=` Probability of introducing a new product if the second group wins `=`

`0.3`

probability of introducing new product by the second group is

`P(E_{2} | A)`.

Applying Baye's theorem,
