Probability question!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I already got a, b ,c I just don't really get d.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean a b c d? maybe 17 18 19 20?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i already solved a, b, c, i don't really know how to do d.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant see neither a nor b nor c nor d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh! ugh sorry i feel so stupid! yes i mean 18, 19, 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by d i mean 20. so sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have you learn conditional probability?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let's find probability of no pasta sharon's no pasta =.3*.25 lisa's no pasta= .7*88 add them up , this is probability of not having pasta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

our question what is probability that lisa cook the dinner GIVEN that there is no pasta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P(lisa cook dinner) ∩ P(no pasta) ----------------------------- P(no pasta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

shouldnt be p(no pasta)=.7*.88+.3*.25=0.691

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we have to figure out the intersection thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so probability of no pasta is 0.691 probability of lisa cookinging and no pasta is .7*88=.616 .616/.691=.891
