So far I got: a) P(high) = 0.16 b) P(low) = 0.19 therefore P(normal) = 0.65

OpenStudy (phi):

draw a Venn diagram (circles that overlap)

OpenStudy (loser66):

Which one? circle or square one?

OpenStudy (phi):

the outer one can be square, divided into 3 parts for low,normal, high

OpenStudy (loser66):

c) P(irre) = 0.17 --> P(reg) = 0.83

OpenStudy (loser66):

how to show heart beats?

OpenStudy (loser66):

d) P(high| irr) = 0.35 e) P(irr |normal) = 0.11

OpenStudy (loser66):

I need find \(P(reg \cap low)\)

OpenStudy (phi):

the low,high, normal do not overlap

OpenStudy (loser66):

so, we just have square diagram, like |dw:1410961978874:dw| but I don't know how to fill in the blank

OpenStudy (phi):

How about|dw:1410962119472:dw|
