Suppose there are 1000 urns in a mathematician's warehouse. Each of these urns contains 20 marbles. 900 of the urns contain 15 green and 5 blue marbles, while 100 contain only blue marbles. Call these Type I and Type II urns, respectively. Suppose that we randomly select an urn and randomly draw a marble form it.

A. What is the probability that we selected a Type I urn, given that the ball we draw is blue? Given that the ball we draw is green?

B. Suppose I only catch a partial glimpse of the ball when it is drawn. This leads me to have 80% confidence that a blue ball was drawn. Assuming I update by Jeffrey Conditionalization, how confident should I then be that the ball was drawn from a Type I urn?

While reviewing Fashion Designers payroll computer system you note the following weaknesses in internal control:
i) When the weekly timesheets are received the details are keypunched into a transaction file. An edit report is then generated and the details are agreed back to the timesheets. Once all the timesheets have been input the employees’ master file is then updated by a batch program. There is no output from the batch update program.
ii) A special password and user ID is required to be entered by payroll staff before they can input changes to employee pay rates. This special password and user ID is the same for all of the payroll staff members who input pay rate details.
Describe the potential impact each of the above weaknesses could have and suggest control procedures which would overcome them.
