题目详情

你有 80% 的概率确实带了钥匙。若带了钥匙,则它等概率在左右口袋。你先检查右口袋,发现没有。问:钥匙在左口袋的概率是多少?

Keys with 80% chance you took them, equally likely in either pocket. Check right pocket, not there. Probability in left pocket?

解析

带钥匙的概率为 0.80.8,且若带了钥匙,在右口袋概率 0.50.5

“右口袋没有”的概率由两种情况组成:

  • 根本没带钥匙:0.20.2
  • 带了钥匙但在左口袋:0.8×0.5=0.40.8\times 0.5=0.4

因此

P(右无)=0.40.2+0.4=23.P(\text{左}\mid\text{右无})=\frac{0.4}{0.2+0.4}=\frac{2}{3}.

Original Explanation

  • Probability keys are indeed on you is 0.80.8. Then if on you, chance they are in right pocket is 0.50.5.
  • You check right, not found => either you didn’t bring them at all (20%) or they are in left pocket (40%). So total “not in right” is $0.2 +0.4=0.6.
    Thus P(leftnot right)=0.40.6=23.P(\text{left}|\text{not right}) = \frac{0.4}{0.6} = \frac{2}{3}.
