Rent per month = $2,300

Monica knows that she should spend no more than 1/3 of her income on her rent

1/3 of her Income = rent

1/3 of x = 2,300

1/3x = 2,300

Answer:

$(B) P(B)=\dfrac{16}{31}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Venn diagram, n(AUB)=31

The given probabilities in the option are calculated below:

$P(A)=\dfrac{21}{31}\\\\P(B)=\dfrac{16}{31}\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}= \dfrac{6/31}{16/31} =\dfrac{6}{16}=\dfrac{3}{8} \\\\P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}= \dfrac{6/31}{21/31} =\dfrac{6}{21}=\dfrac{3}{7}$
