Answer:

0

Explanation:

Let the probability of Juan playing the lottery be A = 1

this is because Juan played the lottery last week

Let the probability of Juan winning the lottery be B = 0

this is because Juan did not win last week

To determine the probability that he will win this week, there is need to use

Bayesian probability such that the P(A/B) is evaluated

P(A/B) = P(AnB)/ P(A)

P(AnB) = P(A).P(B) = 1 x 0= 0

therefore

P(A/B) = 0/1 = 0
