I need this one answer. The Venn Diagram shows the number of bike and skate club members who bike (circle on the left) or skate (circle on the right). Compute P (S | B) and write your answer as a decimal. P (S | B) = a0 ways.

HI!!
make a fraction in the top, put then number of things in the intersection in the bottom, but the number of things iB
I got 6 as my answer is that right?
heck no!!
lets go slow
first, you are asked for a probability the answer must be a number between 0 and 1, it cannot be 6
i actually don't see a 6 anywhere in the diagram but no matter what is the number in the intersection of that diagram (the number in both circles)?
0.17 or 0.16?
yeah lets take it slow then lol
what is the number in the intersection?
|dw:1435064802651:dw|
5
right there are 5 things in \(B\cap S\) meaning i guess 5 people both bike and skate that will be the numerator of the fraction (the top)
now what is the total number in B (the total, not just the 20)?
really? what two numbers do you see in B?
B = Bike on the left
oh 20 is what i see
yes, but that is not ALL that is in B
and 5 as well?
the 20 is outside of the intersection you have to include the intersection as well
right for a total of ?
25
right
now we can compute the answer
alright how so
\[P(S|B)\]means the probability that you skate GIVEN that you bike there are 25 people who bike of those 5 also skate
make a fraction, put the 5 in the numerator and the 25 in the denominator
i got 0.2
ok that looks good since \[\frac{5}{25}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2\]
alright so 0.2 is the answer then correct?
i have a feeling you did not really understand what was going on go back and look at what we did, convince yourself that a) it makes sense and b) it is not that hard yeah 0.2
Thank you and sorry im not very good with this problems lol
no need to apologize, it is not like you are born knowing it, but it is understandable
