Question

For the results of a certain​ survey, the estimated probability of being a car owner was 0.77 for males and 0.62 for females. Express each of these as a conditional probability. The probability of being a car owner ​(CO ​) was 0.77 for males​ (M). Express this as a conditional probability.

Answer 1

Answer:

P(CO|M)=0.77 for male

and P(CO|M^c)=0.62 for female

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk of conditional probability, we refer to the measure of the probability of an event given that another event has occurred

Here, we are to express the results of the survey as a conditional probability.

For the male part of the question, the conditional probability means that, given that the person is a male, the probability that he is a car owner would be;

P(CO|M)=0.77

For the female part of the question, what we have as a conditional probability is that if a person is a female that she is a car owner is;

P(CO|M^c)=0.62

Please kindly understand that the term M^c refers to M complement in words
