2.1 Bayesian Update for Creditworthiness2.1 信誉贝叶斯更新

Knowledge Points: Bayesian Inference知识点：贝叶斯推理

Answer: Given:答： 鉴于：

• P(Good) = 0.7
• P(Bad) = 0.3
• P(Overdraw|Good) = 0.01
• P(Overdraw|Bad) = 0.10

Using Bayes' theorem: $P(Good|Overdraw) = \frac{P(Overdraw|Good) \cdot P(Good)}{P(Overdraw)}$ $P(Overdraw) = P(Overdraw|Good) \cdot P(Good) + P(Overdraw|Bad) \cdot P(Bad)$ $P(Overdraw) = 0.01 \cdot 0.7 + 0.10 \cdot 0.3 = 0.007 + 0.03 = 0.037$ $P(Good|Overdraw) = \frac{0.01 \cdot 0.7}{0.037} = \frac{0.007}{0.037} \approx 0.189$

So, the updated probability that the customer is a good credit risk is approximately 18.9%.因此，客户具有良好信用风险的更新概率约为 18.9%。
