A man is known to speak truth $\displaystyle 7$ out of $\displaystyle 10$ times. He threw a pair of dice and reports that doublet appeared. Find the probability that it was actually a doublet.
Marking-scheme solution
\(\displaystyle \left.\begin{array}{l}E_{1}: \text { doublet appeared } \\
E_{2}: \text { doublet did not appear } \\
A: \text { He reports doublet }\end{array}\right\}\)
\[\begin{aligned}
& P\left(E_{1}\right)=\frac{1}{6} \quad P\left(E_{2}\right)=\frac{5}{6} \\
& P\left(A / E_{1}\right)=\frac{7}{10} \quad P\left(A / E_{2}\right)=\frac{3}{10} \\
& P\left(E_{1} / A\right)=\frac{P\left(E_{1}\right) P\left(A / E_{1}\right)}{P\left(E_{1}\right) P\left(A / E_{1}\right)+P\left(E_{2}\right) P\left(A / E_{2}\right)} \\
& =\frac{\dfrac{1}{6} \cdot \dfrac{7}{10}}{\dfrac{1}{6} \cdot \dfrac{7}{10}+\dfrac{5}{6} \cdot \dfrac{3}{10}} \\
& =\frac{7}{22}
\end{aligned}
\]
