vocaloid · Answer

"the probability that the adult rents action-movie DVDs, given that the adult is female" can be written as

P(rents action movie DVDS | female) = P(female and rents action movie DVDs)/P(female)

P(female) = 0.51, since 51% of the adults are female (1-0.49 = 0.51)
P(female and rents action movie DVDs) = 0.1 (given in the problem)
