Homework Statement
Suppose that 70% of the statisticians are shy, whereas 30% of the economist are shy. Suppose also that 80% of the people at a large gathering are economists and the remaining 20% are statisticians. If you randomly meet a person at the gathering and the person is shy, what is the probability that the person is a statistician?
How can you interpret this statement?
Suppose that 70% of the statisticians are shy.
It sounds to me like the prob that we choose a person who is and statistician and is shy
but it is the prob that we choose a person who is shy given that he is an statistician
