A certain website gives recharges for solving puzzles correctly. One of the users has faith most of the puzzles have wrong answers in the database. Overall 2 percent of puzzles have wrong answers. If a puzzle has wrong answer, user is right 90 percent of the time. If puzzle does not, user thinks it is wrong 20 percent of the time. If the user thinks certain puzzle has a wrong answer, what is the probability that puzzle actually has a wrong answer?
( Please use the correct bayesian model. Ans up to two decimals. This shall solve their doubts.)..

"Answer in decimals"? You want us to do your homework down to decimals?

No one here is stupid - this is obviously homework.

What formula would you use?

“Read this first - Expectations for the Homework Help Board:
Do not simply retype or paste a question from your book or study material

We won't do your homework questions for you. You were given the assignment for you to learn.

If you come up with your own answer and post it for us to critique that is within reason.

If you have some SPECIFIC questions that you couldn't find or didn't understand, we may help with that. But this is your assignment, so show us you have at least attempted to complete it on your own.

Thank you.”
