@ganeshie8 please help me

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

First, you need to figure out P(A), P(B), and P(A ^ B) by looking at the figure. You can use the calculator for finding the last two parts

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

P(A)=0.2 P(B)=0.1 P(A^B)=0.3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

In the calculator page, do you see a dropdown menu for "Main goal" ?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

select the appropriate one

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

select `Find conditional probability of B, given A`

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

ok done

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

then enter the values for P(A), P(B) and P(A^B)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wait, your numbers are wrong

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

``` P(A)=0.2 P(B)=0.1 P(A^B)=0.3 ```

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

those are wrong, try again

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

only this is correct : `P(A^B)=0.3`

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

why is the other one wrong

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for P(A), you must pick the entire A : P(A) = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

ohh ok then same for b got it

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

b is 0.4

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

alrigh now what :)

OpenStudy (venomblast):

alright I got you Daniel. Ok so P(AnB)=P(A|B)*P(B) NOTE:P(AnB) is also written as P(AB) P(AnB)=P(B|A)*P(A) P(A) is the whole circle A. (.2+.3=.5) P(B) is the whole circle B (.1+.3=.4) S (we call this the sample) MUST EQUAL TO 1. We know P(AB)=.3 plug in the formula above and you should get all the unknowns.
