Quality assurance department of software house reveals that 6% of programming code contain logical errors. Quality check software is developed to analyze code and in a test, identifies the error in 97% of the code with errors and 4% of those without. If code is marked by the program as possibly having a logical error, what is the probability that the code DOES have an error?

When playing games of chance like roulette, people often say that a particular outcome is due, implying that one income is more likely because it has not happened in a while. This is fallacy because in these examples of outcome of each trial is: a. independent b. dependent c. subjective d. interrelative
