Specifically, when the land contains oil, favorable seismic soundings are obtained 80 percent of the time. This percentage changes to 40 percent when the land is dry.
(a)Revise Fig. 16.2 to find the new posterior probabilities.
(b)Use the Excel template for posterior probabilities to check your answers in part ( a).
(c)What is the resulting optimal policy?
please explain each step in detail and attach excel spreadsheet for this problem.
Thanks
