abstract (eng) This paper deals with a simple probabilistic description of some issues related to searching for a missing person.They concern at least two interesting points of the application of mathematics in managerial decision-making. First, we propose the use of Bayes’ rule to recalculate the probability of a lost person location based on additional information. Next, the optimal ordering of searched areas is determined that minimizes the average (expected) search time. Finally, the proposed solutions is illustrated with several artificial examples.
