Refer to Example 4. What is the probability that a can will have a flaw on the side, given that it has a flaw on top?
Solution
We are given that P(flaw on top) = 0.03, and P(flow on side and flow on top) = 0.01. Using Equation (2.14),
P(flaw on top|flaw on side) = (P(flaw on top and flaw on side))/(P(flaw on side))
= 0.01/0.03
= 0.33
