Students often don’t realize that a book isn’t necessarily bad because they found it boring or couldn’t understand it.

But wait there’s more

What would the consequent probabilities or likelihoods for they found it boring or couldn’t understand it. given students do realize that a book is necessarily bad, and they don't found it boring or could understand it given students do realize that a book is necessarily bad, need to be such that in a world where students don’t realize that a book isn’t necessarily bad given they found it boring or couldn’t understand it., and students do realize that a book is necessarily bad given they found it boring or couldn’t understand it., that both these posterior probabilities are equally likely? In other words, we’d be indifferent? The likelihood of they found it boring or couldn’t understand it. given students do realize that a book is necessarily bad would need to be 7.50% (0.08x or 100 for every 1333), and they don't found it boring or could understand it given students do realize that a book is necessarily bad would need to be 92.50% (12.33x or 100 for every 108), all else being equal.

Similarly, what would the consequent probabilities or likelihoods for they found it boring or couldn’t understand it. given students do realize that a book is necessarily bad, and they don't found it boring or could understand it given students do realize that a book is necessarily bad, need to be such that in a world where students don’t realize that a book isn’t necessarily bad given they don't found it boring or could understand it, and students do realize that a book is necessarily bad given they don't found it boring or could understand it, that both these posterior probabilities are equally likely? In other words, we’d be indifferent? The likelihood of they found it boring or couldn’t understand it. given students do realize that a book is necessarily bad would need to be 97.50% (39.00x or 100 for every 103), and they don't found it boring or could understand it given students do realize that a book is necessarily bad would need to be 2.50% (0.03x or 100 for every 4000), all else being equal.
