Answer:

0.2915

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent water and D represent Dying probability

W = water

D = die

 

->If with water, it will die with probability 0.4

P(W & D) = 0.82 x 0.4 = 0.328

->Without water the plant will die with probability 0.75

P(W ' & D) = 0.18 x 0.75 = 0.135

Taking sum of the above values with water and without water.

P(D) = P(W & D) +  P(W ' & D) = 0.4643

P(W ' | D) = P(W ' & D) / P(D)

= 0.135 /0.463

= 0.2915 ≈ 29.15%

Thus, the probability the neighbor forgot to water is 0.2915
