![3. Dagupan Bank reviewed its credit card policy with the intention of recalling some of its credit
cards. In the past, approximately 5% of cardholders defaulted, leaving the bank unable to
collect outstanding balance. Hence, management established a prior probability of 0.05 that
any particular cardholder will default. The bank also found that the probability of missing a
monthly payment is 0.20 for customers who did not default. Of course, the probability of
missing a monthly payment for those who default is 1. Letting My be the event that a customer
missed payment, D, be the event that a customer holder defaults, and D₂ be the event that a
customer does not default.
