Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of a selected car being a 4 door car, given that the car has a sunroof = 0.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is presented in the attached image.

The conditional probability, of event A happening, given that event B has happened, P(A|B), is given mathematically as

P(A|B) = P(A n B) ÷ P(B)

So, the required probability of a selected car being a 4 door car, given that the car has a sunroof is given as

P (4 doors | sunroof)

= P (4 doors n sunroof) ÷ P(sunroof)

Note that the probability of an event is given as the number of elements in that event divided by the Total number of events.

P (4 doors n sunroof)

= n (4 doors n sunroof) ÷ n (total)

From the Venn Diagram in the attached image,

n (4 doors n sunroof) = 20 + 0 = 20

n (total) = 100

P (4 doors n sunroof) = (20/100) = 0.20

P(sunroof) = n(sunroof) ÷ n(total)

n(sunroof) = 12 + 18 + 20 + 0 = 50

n(total) = 100

P(sunroof) = (50/100) = 0.50

P (4 doors | sunroof)

= P (4 doors n sunroof) ÷ P(sunroof)

= (0.20/0.50) = 0.40

Hope this Helps!!!
