[The comic shows a formula with a header in gray on top:]
Modified Bayes’ theorem:
[The formula:]
P(H|X) = P(H) × (1 + P(C) × ( P(X|H)/P(X) - 1 ))
[Variables and functions are described also in gray:]
H: Hypothesis
X: Observation
P(H): Prior probability that H is true
P(X): Prior probability of observing X
P(C): Probability that you’re using Bayesian statistics correctly
