The probability that a dessert sold at a certain cafe contains chocolate is 86%. The probability that a dessert containing chocolate also contains nuts is 30%. Find the probability that a dessert chosen at random contains nuts given that it contains chocolate. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.

N= total desserts Choc N1= chocolate desserts= .86N Choc desserts containing nuts= N2= .30 x .86 N as it will be thirty % if the choclate desserts so probabilty= (choc+nuts desserts )/total desserts = (.30* .86*N)/N= .258= 25.8%

is that the answer??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think so!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \Pr(A|B) = \frac{\Pr(A\cap B)}{\Pr(B)} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So let \(A\) be the event it contains nuts and let \(B\) be the event it's chocolate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"The probability that a dessert sold at a certain cafe contains chocolate is 86%" This means: \(\Pr(B)=0.86\) "The probability that a dessert containing chocolate also contains nuts is 30%. " This means \(\Pr(A\cap B)=0.3\)

"Find the probability that a dessert chosen at random contains nuts given that it contains chocolate." This means: What is \(\Pr(A|B)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or rather, the probability of event A (has nuts) if B (has chocolate) is true. It's conditional probability.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The probability that a dessert sold at a certain cafe contains chocolate is 86%. The probability that a dessert containing chocolate also contains nuts is 30%. Find the probability that a dessert chosen at random contains nuts given that it contains chocolate P(nuts given chocolate) = .30/.86 = .349 or 34.9% (rounded to the nearest tenth

ur anwser would be 349 or 34.9%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your all nerds ha naw jp thanks though
