Hmm this may be bayes' theorem.

OpenStudy (hap1236):

whats that

OpenStudy (evoker):

The probability of A given B equals the probability of B given A times the probability of A divided by proability of B.

OpenStudy (hap1236):

im confused

OpenStudy (hap1236):

someone please help

OpenStudy (evoker):

Sorry it's just a conditional probability problem Probabibility of B given A is P the probability of A and B over the probability of A. So for your case .21/.36
