an explosion at a construction site could have occurred as the result of static electricity, malfunctioning of equipment, carelessness, or sabotage. Interviews with construction engineers analyzing the risks involved led to the estimates that such an explosion would occur with probability 0.25 as a result of static electricity, 0.20 as a result of malfunctioning of equipment, 0.40 as a result of carelessness, and 0.75 as a result of sabotage. It is also felt that the prior probabilities of the four causes of the explosion are 0.20, 0.40, 0.25, and 0.15. Based on all this information, what is
(a) the most likely cause of the explosion;
(b) the least likely cause of the explosion?
