Reference no: EM13692617

There are two related variables, noise (equals either quiet or loud) and intoxication (equals drunk or sober). P(drunk)=.25, P(loud)=.4. You know that if someone is drunk, then the probability of them being loud is .9. Use Bayes’s Rule to calculate P(drunk|loud). Check your work by filling out a probability table and doing the same calculation.
