Suppose that there is a chance for a newly constructed building to collapse, whether the design is faulty or not. The chance that the design is faulty is . The chance that the building collapses is if the design is faulty, otherwise it is . If it is seen that the building has collapsed, then what is the probability that it is due to faulty design?
Options
- A0.10
- B0.19
- C0.45
- D0.95
Correct answer
B. 0.19
Step-by-step solution
Let design is faulty design is not faulty building is collapses Since, $P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)=\frac{P\left(E_1\right) P\left(A / E_1\right)}{P\left(E_1\right) \cdot P\left(A / E_1\right)+P\left(E_2\right) P\left(A / E_2\right)}=\frac{\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{19}{20}}{\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{19}{20}+\frac{9}{10} \times \frac{9}{20}}=\frac{19}{100}=0.19$
