Answer: Update probability of hypothesis given new evidence.
- A Add the probabilities of two mutually exclusive events
- B Update probability of hypothesis given new evidence
- C Multiply the probabilities of two independent events together
- D Find the complement probability of a single given event
Correct answer: B. Update probability of hypothesis given new evidence
Explanation: Bayes' theorem updates prior probabilities using new evidence. P(H|E) = P(E|H)P(H)/P(E).
