问题如下:
In a typical year, 5% of all CEOs are fired for "performance" reasons. Assume that CEO performance is judged according to stock performance and that 50% of stocks have above-average returns or "good" performance. Empirically, 30% of all CEOs who were fired had "good" performance.
Using Bayes' formula, what is the probability that a CEO will be fired given "good" performance? (Hint, let P(A) be the probability of a CEO being fired, P(B) be the probability of a "good" performance rating, P(B I A) be the likelihood of a "good" performance rating given that the CEO was fired, and P(A I B) be the likelihood of the CEO being fired given a "good" performance rating.)
选项:
A.
1.5%
B.
2.5%
C.
3.0%
解释:
C is correct. With Bayes' formula, the probability of the CEO being fired given a "good" rating is:
where
P(A) = 0.05 = probability of the CEO being fired
P(B) = 0.50 = probability of a "good" rating
P(B | A) = 0.30 = probability of a "good" rating given that the CEO is fired
With these estimates, the probability of the CEO being fired given a "good" rating is:
Although 5% of all CEOs are fired, the probability of being fired given a "good" performance rating is 3%.
