Question

How long a basketball player is on the court over the course of the game depends on whether the player is a starter (begins the game on the court) or not. Let’s define the eventsA,T1,T2, andT3as follows:

A={Playing as a starting member}

T1={Playing for less than 16 minutes}

T2={Playing for beteen 16 miniues and 32 mintues}

T3={Playing for more than 32 minutes}

.A basketball analyst reports the following information:

Pr(T1) = 0.40

Pr(A|T1) = 0.15

Pr(T2) = 0.40

Pr(A|T2) = 0.40

Pr(T3) = 0.20

Pr(A|T3) = 0.80

(a) Suppose we learn that a basketball player was a starter for a game.What is the probability that this player played less than 16 minutes?

(b) Suppose we learn that a basketball player was NOT a starter for a game. What is the probability that this player played more than 16minutes?
