Let
E
be the event of committing an error in processing the form and let
E
_
1,
E
_
2
and
E
_
3
be the events that Jayant, Sonia and Oliver processed the form. Find the value of
∑
_(
i=1
)
^3
P
(
E
_
i∣
E)
.
Now,
𝑷(𝑬_1∣𝑬) is Probability there is an error in processing the form, & Jayant processed the form
𝑷(𝑬_2∣𝑬) is Probability there is an error in processing the form, & Sonia processed the form
𝑷(𝑬_3∣𝑬) is Probability there is an error in processing the form, & Oliver processed the form
Now,
∑_(𝑖=1)^3▒𝑃 (𝐸_𝑖│𝐸)=𝑃(𝑬_𝟏│𝑬)+𝑷(𝑬_𝟐│𝑬)+𝑷(𝑬_𝟑│𝑬)
𝑷(𝑬_3∣𝑬) is Probability there is an error in processing the form, & Oliver processed the form
Now,
∑_(𝑖=1)^3▒𝑃 (𝐸_𝑖│𝐸)=𝑃(𝑬_𝟏│𝑬)+𝑷(𝑬_𝟐│𝑬)+𝑷(𝑬_𝟑│𝑬)
= (𝑃(𝐸_1 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_1))/(𝑃(𝐸_1 ). 𝑃(𝐴|𝐸_1) + 𝑃(𝐸_2 ). 𝑃(𝐴|𝐸_2) + 𝑃(𝐸_3 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_1))
+ (𝑃(𝐸_2 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_2))/(𝑃(𝐸_1 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_1) + 𝑃(𝐸_2 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_2) + 𝑃(𝐸_3 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_1))
+ (𝑃(𝐸_3 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_3))/(𝑃(𝐸_1 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_1) + 𝑃(𝐸_2 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_2) + 𝑃(𝐸_3 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_1))
= (𝑃(𝐸_1 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_1) + 𝑃(𝐸_2 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_2) + 𝑃(𝐸_3 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_1))/(𝑃(𝐸_1 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_1) + 𝑃(𝐸_2 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_2) + 𝑃(𝐸_3 ). 𝑃(𝐸|𝐸_1))
= 1
