Let $d_1, d_2, d_3$ be three mutually exclusive diseases. 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 $d_1, 2100$ has disease $d_2,$ and others had disease $d_3. 1500$ patients with disease $d_1, 1200$ patients with disease $d_2,$ and $900$ patients with disease $d_3$ showed the symptom. Which of the diseases is the patient most likely to have?
