If the rock strata underlying the site are characterized by what geologists call a “dome” structure, the chances of finding oil are somewhat greater than if no dome structure exists. The probability of a dome structure is Pr(Dome)=0.6 . The conditional probabilities of finding oil in this site are as follows. Pr(High|Dome) = 0.15 Pr(Dry|Dome) = 0.6 Pr(Low|Dome) = 0.25 Pr(High|No Dome) = 0.025 Pr(Low|No Dome) = 0.125 Pr(Dry|No Dome) = 0.85
7.32 If the company could collect information from a drilling core sample and analyze it to determine whether a dome structure exists at site 1. A positive result would indicate the presence of dome, and a negative result would indicate the absence of a dome. The test is not perfect, however. Particularly, Pr(+|Dome)=0.99, and Pr(-|No Dome)=0.85. Use these probabilities and information given in the example, and Bayes’ theorem to find the posterior probabilities Pr(Dome|+) and Pr(Dome|-). If the test gives a positive result, which site should be selected? If the test result is negative, which site should be selected? Pr(Dome |+) = Pr(Dome |– ) =

Thus, we can conclude that the test result and the amount oil in the well are conditionally independent given the information about the dome structure of the well.
