(Optional topic) Should the government help the poor? In the 2014 General Social Survey, 32% of those sampled thought of themselves as Democrats, 45% as Independents, 21% as Republicans, and 2% as Other.23 When asked, "Should the government in Washington do everything possible to improve the standard of living of all poor Americans?," 23% of the Democrats, 18% of the Independents, 4% of the Republicans, and 15% of Others agreed. Given that a person agrees that the government in Washington should do everything possible to improve the standard of living of all poor Americans, use Bayes’ rule to find the probability the person thinks of him- or herself as a Democrat.

0.71875

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that a person thinks of himself as Democrat = P(A)= 0.32

Probability that a person agress that the govt. in Washington should do everything possible to improve the standard of living of poor= P(B)

Probability that a Democrat agress that the govt. in Washington should do everything possible to improve the standard of living of poor P(A ∩ B) = 0.23

P(B/A) = P(B∩A)/ P(A)

P(B/A)= 0.23/0.32

P(B/A) = 0.71875

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,
