A drawer contains 12 brown socks, 8 white socks, and 2 blue socks. One sock is selected at random.
What is the probability that the sock is blue, given that it is not brown?
Blue socks = 2
Not brown socks = 8 + 2 = 10
The probability that the sock is blue, given that it is not brown? = 2/10 = <u>1/5</u>

A box of photographs contains 13 wedding photographs, 4 vacation photographs, and 8 holiday photographs. One photograph is randomly selected.
What is the probability that the photograph is a holiday photograph, given that it is not a wedding photograph?
Holiday photographs = 8
Not a wedding photograph = 4 + 8 = 12
The probability that the photograph is a holiday photograph, given that it is not a wedding photograph = 8/12 =<u> 2/3</u>

What is the probability that experience is needed for a randomly selected job opening, given that it is for part-time work?
Write the probability as a percent . Round to the nearest tenth if needed.
Experience is needed = 6 + 2 = 8
Part-time work = 6 + 8 = 14
The probability that experience is needed for a randomly selected job opening, given that it is for part-time work = 8/14 = 4/7 = <u>57.1%</u>

What is the probability that a randomly selected recipe does not contain sugar, given that it contains salt?
Recipe does not contain sugar = 0.31
Contains salt = 0.67
The probability that a randomly selected recipe does not contain sugar, given that it contains salt = 0.31/0.67 = <u>46.3%</u>
