An image is partitioned into two regions, one white and the other black. A reading taken from a randomly chosen point in the white section will be normally distributed with μ=4 and σ2=4, whereas one taken from a randomly chosen point in the black region will have a normally distributed reading with parameters (6, 9). A point is randomly chosen on the image and has a reading between 4 and 5. What is the probability that the point is in the black region? Give your answer in terms of Φ.
Assume that α = 1/4. The answer is .1720 for your reference; please make sure you are getting the correct answer. Please show your work and explain your answer.
Answer :-
Bayes Theorem. The Bayes theorem describes the probability of an event based on the prior knowledge of the conditions that might be related to the event. If we know the conditional probability , we can use the bayes rule to find out the reverse probabilities
