Homework SourseThe dynamics of the cougar population of Jasper National Par
The dynamics of the cougar population of Jasper National Park is being analyzed. A number of digital cameras and an image recognition system are used to automatically record cougar appearances throughout the park. Motion sensors detect large animals and set off the cameras, and after images are taken, they are sent to a computer for analysis using image recognition algorithms. Since there is no human involvement, mistakes do occur. In particular, 7% of animals that are not cougars are identified by the image recognition system as cougars, and also 16% of cougars are identified by the system as other animals. It is also known that, on average, only 6% of all the animals photographed are cougars. a) What is the probability that the animal on a randomly selected image is identified as a cougar?
