OpenStudy (perl):

are we looking for the probability of P( rich | lawyer) P(very rich | lawyer) P( filthy rich | lawyer) ?

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

yes

OpenStudy (perl):

if you look only in the lawyer row you have a total of 103 lawyers. how many of them are rich

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

40

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

or 39%

OpenStudy (perl):

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

ohhh so I'm only looking at the lawyers which would make it A. now I'm getting 39,34,27

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

my original answer was right :/

OpenStudy (perl):

the wording of the question is ambiguous to me

OpenStudy (perl):

they wanted P(lawyer | rich) = 40/60 P(lawyer | very rich) = 35/65 P(lawyer| filthy rich) =28/78

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):
