A popular film series has produced 24 films of which 16 have been good. A new film from the series is about to come out, and without any additional information we would assume that the odds it is good is 16 out of 24. Historically, 65.7% of good films have a good trailer and 21.8% of bad films have a good trailer. The new film releases a good trailer. What is the probability that the film is good now?

put your answer in percentage form (e.g. 72.4218 not 0.724218) and then round to four decimal places. You do NOT need to include a % sign.

A popular film series has produced 24 films of which 16 have been good. A new film from the series is about to come out, and without any additional information we would assume that the odds it is good is 16 out of 24. Historically, 65.7% of good films have a good trailer and 21.8% of bad films have a good trailer. The new film releases a good trailer. What is the probability that the film is good now?

put your answer in percentage form (e.g. 72.4218 not 0.724218) and then round to four decimal places. You do NOT need to include a % sign.

let

GF= Good film   BF= Bad film    GT= Good trailer

Given:

P(GF) = 16/24   P( BF) = 8/24

P(GT/GF) =0.657    P( GT/BF) = 0.218

We know that from Bayes Theorem, P( GT) = P(GF)* P(GT/GF)+ P(BF)* P(GT/BF)

=(16/24)*0.657+(8/24)*0.218

=0.510667

P( GF/GT) = P(GF)* P(GT/GF)/P( GT)

=(16/24)*0.657/0.510667

=0.857702

The required percentage= 85.7702

A new dangerous virus has emerged which produced an miRNA that represses the protein Ran. Which of the following scenarios is most likely to occur for nuclear transport relying on Ran? Proteins with NLSs would be transferred to the nucleus but not released from Imp alpha or beta Nuclear localizing sequences (NLSs) would not be able to bind to Imp-alpha subunit. All protein transport across to the nucleus would come to a halt. There would be too much Ran protein...
