Step-by-step explanation:
This is a problem of conditional probability.
The two events that are given are:
- Car stuck in the snow - Let it be event S. P(S) = 70% = 0.70
- Require a tow truck - Let it be event T.
We have to find the probability of being stuck in the snow AND requiring a tow truck which can be given as P(S and T)
We are also given the conditional probability, which is P(T | S) = 90% = 0.90
Using the given formula for our case we can modify the formula as:
Therefore, there is 63% (0.63) chance that you will get stuck in the snow with your car AND require a tow truck to pull you out
