Your probability of getting the flu this year is .15. The probability that you will get the flu and run a high fever is .05. Suppose you come down with the flu. What is the probability that you will get the high fever, given that you have the flu?

Question

anonymous · Answer

let the probablility of getting the flu be p, probability of getting a fever be q.
We know p = .15, and we know p*q = .05

anonymous · Answer

so q = .05/p = (.05)/(.15) = 1/3

anonymous · Answer

or .33333.... or 33%
