A man is known to speak the truth 3 out of 5 times. He throws a die and reports that it is a number greater than 4. Find the probability that it is actually a number greater than 4.

Given; Let E1 and E2 be two events such that;

P(E1) is the probability of getting a number greater than 4 and


P(E2) is the probability of getting a number less than or equal to 4.



Let E be the event that the man reports the number to be greater than 4.



By Bayes theorem;
