Let d1, d2, d3 be three mutually exclusive diseases.
Let S = {S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6} be the set of observable symptoms of these diseases. For example,
S1 is the shortness of breath, S2 is the loss of weight, S3 is the fatigue, etc. Suppose a random
sample of 10,000 patients contains 3200 patients with disease d1, 3500 patients with disease d2,
and 3300 patients with disease d3. Also, 3100 patients with disease d1, 3300 patients with disease
d2, and 3000 patients with disease d3 show the symptom S.

Based on the above information answer the following questions:

(a) A person is chosen at random from the sample of 10,000. What is The probability that the
person chosen does not suffer from disease d3? [1]
(b) Find the conditional probability that the patient shows the symptom S given that he suffers
from disease d1 and also calculate the conditional probability that the patient shows the symptom
S given that he suffers from disease d2.
OR
If a person chosen at random shows the symptom S, then what is the probability that he does
suffer from disease d1? [2]
(c) Let Di denote the event that the patient has disease di (i = 1, 2, 3) and S be the event that the
