question 77

Short Answer

TABLE 4-10
Are whites more likely to claim bias? It was found that 60% of the workers were white, 30% were black and 10% are other races. Given that a worker was white, the probability that the worker had claimed bias was 30%. Given that a worker was black, the probability that the worker had claimed bias was 40%. Given that a worker was other race, the probability that the worker had claimed bias was 0%.
-Referring to Table 4-10, if a randomly selected worker had claimed bias, what is the probability that the worker is white?
