I found a logic error in Bayesian statistics.

No.13725431 ViewReplyOriginalReport
In logic if we have X implies Y and you tell me Y is true then I cannot say X is true. That's because true -> true and false -> true are both true statements. Knowing that Y is true doesn't tell me anything about X.

But now Bayes wants to say that if we know Y is true then X is more likely? Note that the case where X is false is know as the vacuous truth which is often confusing and trips up beginners in logic. Perhaps Bayes did not know logic so he got confused here?

Any advice?
This would be online.
I'm not American and didn't do SAT's, and don't know if a tutor is even needed...? Is one really going to help?

Any tutoring places known to be better than others?

Any help very much appreciated: he's a good kid, and a bright kid, hoping to study somewhere elite in the USA.
