Kendrick 🆘 :
See this would be an easier problem if I had any basis for if farmers or librarians are more common.

I cant exactly pinpoint why but something feels wrong about this conclusion

There are reasons to disagree with K&T on this conclusion (see the end of the YT video), but it remains a great demo of how to reason with priors.

but what's the percentage of meek librarians Vs the percentage of meek farmers. if you wanna do Bayes theorem then you can't just bring in one prior

If you know that Steve is a farmer, what is the probability that he fits the description?

This seems like a riddle at first. Steve is fictional in a fictional world. It's surprising then, that you start using real world ratios

Yeah but if you begin by describing a "Steve" I'd think you cooked him up. For fictional characters the priors would be equal across all occupations.

You did put an image of him thinking about a book on your description which kinda biased my decision lol

a person not interested in worldly matters would not be that interested in books either. also a person who likes solitude will appreciate the outdoors

The probability estimate only makes sense if you only include people who match the description which doesn’t match the original question.

The the phrasing of the qustion feels as though its intended to lead the listener to the wrong conclusion. Was that the point?

After saying he doesn’t like people/reality I thought it made more sense for him to be a farmer. I feel librarians come in contact with more people

i think its the fact that the only thing we know about Steve is his meek and tidy soul. we have to make a presumption based on nothing else

Wait there are way more farmers than librarians, or did i misunderstand

To be fair on first thought I would've assumed there are more librarians than farmers

i thought of the ratio of liberians and farmers but i thought there would be more liberians💀

Also librarians have to be social… farmers dont
