the probability that the book used is authored by a2 = 27/67
Step-by-step explanation:
30% of the students doing a course in statistics use the book authored by a1
the proportion of students who learnt about each of these books through their teachers are: a1= 0.50
(0.45 * 0.3) /(0.3 * 0.5 + 0.45*0.3 + 0.25 * 0.2)
= (0.135)/(0.15 + 0.135 + 0.05)
= 0.135/0.335
= 135/335
= 27/67
the probability that the book used is authored by a2 = 27/67
