Let $S$ be the set of observable symptoms of these diseases. $A$ doctor has the following information from a random sample of 5000 patients: 1800 had disease $\mathrm{d}_1, 2100$ has disease $\mathrm{d}_2$, and others had disease $\mathrm{d}_3 .1500$ patients with disease $\mathrm{d}_1, 1200$ patients with disease $\mathrm{d}_2$, and 900 patients with disease $d_3$ showed the symptom. Which of the diseases is the patient most likely to have?
