Question 924034: The probability that a doctor correctly diagnoses
a particular illness is 0.7. Given that the doctor
makes an incorrect diagnosis, the probability that the
patient files a lawsuit is 0.9. What is the probability
that the doctor makes an incorrect diagnosis and the
patient sues? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! p(correct diagnosis) = .7
p(lawsuit | incorrect diagnosis) = .9
.........
P(incorrect diagnosis AND patient sues) = (.3)(.9) = .27
