. The Reviews editor for a certain scientific journal decides whether the review for any particular
book should be short (1–2 pages), medium (3–4 pages) or long (5–6 pages). Data on recent
reviews indicate that 60% of them are short, 30% are medium, and the other 10% are long.
Reviews are submitted in either Word or LaTeX. For short reviews, 80% are in Word, whereas
50% of medium reviews and 30% of long reviews are in Word. Suppose a recent review is
randomly selected.
(a) What is the probability that the selected review was submitted in Word?
(b) If the selected review was submitted in Word, what are the posterior probabilities of it being
short, medium, and long?
