Bayes’ Rule
If the mutually exclusive events B1 , B2 , . .. , Bn constitute a partition of the
sample space S such that P(Bi)  0 for i = 1, 2, …, n, then for any event A in S such
that P(A)  0

Bayes’ Rule is an extremely useful formula. It can be used to find the
conditional probability P(Bj\A) when the available information cannot be used to
apply the definition of conditional probability directly.
Ex. 19 A factory manufactures products by using 4 machines which can
produce 1000, 1200, 1800, and 2000 pieces a day, respectively. The machines
produce defective products at the rates of 1 %, ½ %, ½ %, and 1 %, respectively.
A product is selected from a lot which is produced in one day and found to be
defective. Determine the probability that this product is manufactured by the 4th
machine.
