Question: Here we look at some variations of Example 1.3.4.
- In the warden's calculation of Example 1.3.4 it was assumed that if A were to be pardoned, then with equal probability the warden would tell A that either \(\mathrm{B}\) or \(\mathrm{C}\) would die. However, this need not be the case. The warden can assign probabilities \(\gamma\) and \(1-\gamma.\) to these events, as shown here:
Calculate \(P(A \mid \mathcal{W})\) as a function of \(\gamma .\) For what values of \(\gamma\) is \(P(A \mid \mathcal{W})\) less than, equal to, or greater than \(\frac{1}{3} ?\)
