Answer: Our required probability is 0.7241.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that new product have been successes P(S) = 60%

Probability that new product have not been successes P(F) = 40%

Probability that their successful products were predicted to be successes = P(A|S)=70%

Probability that their failed products were predicted to be successes =P(A|F) = 40%

So, Probability that this new camera phone will be successful if its success has been predicted is given by


P(S|A)=(P(S).P(A|S))/(P(S).P(A|S)+P(F).P(A|F))\\\\P(S|A)=(0.7* 0.6)/(0.7* 0.6+0.4* 0.4)\\\\P(S|A)=0.7241

Hence, our required probability is 0.7241.
