Sorry, I just have a question. In the problem with pearls I can calculate

P(pearl/blue) = P(pearl AND blue) / P(blue) = 0.11 * 0.04 / (0.11 * 0.04 + 0.89 * 0.08) = 0.058

or with log-odds

P(pearl/blue) = 2^(log2(11/89) + log2(1/2)) = 2^(-4.0163018123) = 0.061

Where does the discrepancy come from?

UPD: I looked up the solution and realized that 2^(-4.016) are odds so probability is 1 / (2^4.01 + 1) = 0.058

Honestly this whole section is confusing
