Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a 0.1165 = 11.65% probability that a person with the flu is a person who received a flu shot.

Conditional Probability

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem:

Event A: Person has the flu.

Event B: Person got the flu shot.

The percentages associated with getting the flu are:

20% of 30%(got the shot).

65% of 70%(did not get the shot).

Hence:

$P(A) = 0.2(0.3) + 0.65(0.7) = 0.515$

The probability of both having the flu and getting the shot is:

$P(A \cap B) = 0.2(0.3) = 0.06$

Hence, the conditional probability is:

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.06}{0.515} = 0.1165$

0.1165 = 11.65% probability that a person with the flu is a person who received a flu shot.

Let $R$ be the ellipsoid with equation

$\left(\dfrac xa\right)^2+\left(\dfrac yb\right)^2+\left(\dfrac zc\right)^2=1$

so that the volume of $R$ is given by the triple integral

$\displaystyle\iiint_R\mathrm dV$

Consider the augmented spherical coordinates given by the identities

$\begin{cases}x=ar\cos u\sin v\\y=br\sin u\sin v\\z=cr\cos v\end{cases}$

Computing the Jacobian, we find that the volume element is given by

$\mathrm dV=\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz=abcr^2\sin v\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$

so that the volume integral can be written as

$\displaystyle\iiint_R\mathrm dV=abc\int_{v=0}^{v=\pi}\int_{u=0}^{u=2\pi}\int_{r=0}^{r=1}r^2\sin v\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=\frac{4abc\pi}3$
