Abstract

The author revisits the Blue Bus Case, a famous thought-experiment in law involving probabilistic proof, and presents simple Bayesian solutions to different versions of the blue bus problem. In addition, the author expresses his solutions in standard and visual formats, i.e. in terms of probabilities and natural frequencies.

Keywords: Bayes’ Rule, Blue Bus Case, Probabilistic Proof
