\"The probability of the virus being V1,V2,V3 is 0.3,0.6,0.1 respectively\" means that
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.3=30%2F100\" of the patients with virus V have type V1;
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.6=60%2F100\" of the patients with virus V have type V2, and
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.1=10%2F100\" of the patients with virus V have type V3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Out every 100 patients with virus V,
\n" ); document.write( "30 will have V1, 60 will have V2, and 10 will have V3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Of the 30 patients with V1, \"0.8=8%2F10=8%2F100=%2280%25%22\" will recover.
\n" ); document.write( "That amounts to \"30%2A0.8=24\" patients with V1 recovering.
\n" ); document.write( "Of the 60 patients with V2, \"0.3=3%2F10=30%2F100=%2230%25%22\" will recover.
\n" ); document.write( "That amounts to \"60%2A0.3=18\" patients with V2 recovering.
\n" ); document.write( "Of the 10 patients with V3, \"0.5=5%2F10=50%2F100=%2250%25%22\" will recover.
\n" ); document.write( "That amounts to \"10%2A0.5=5\" patients with V3 recovering.
\n" ); document.write( "All in all, out of the \"100\" patients with virus V,
\n" ); document.write( "\"24%2B18%2B5=47\" recover.
\n" ); document.write( "The fraction of the \"100\" patients that recover is \"47%2F100=0.47\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "and that is the probability that Taonga recovers: \"highlight%280.47%29\" .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Of each set of 100 patients, \"47\" recover,
\n" ); document.write( "and of those \"47\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "\"18\" had V2, amounting to \"18%2F47\" of those who recovered.
\n" ); document.write( "That is the probability that if Taonga recovers Taonga had V2:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%2818%2F47%29\"= about\"highlight%280.383%29\"= about\"highlight%28%2238.3%25%22%29\" .\r
