Question

Suppose it is known that the individual lost more than 8 pounds in a month. find the probability that he lost less than 13 pounds in the month. (enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.)

Answer 1

Given that an individual lost 8 pounds in a months, the probability that he lost 13 pounds will be given by:
(amount of pounds lost in the month)/(number of expected pounds lost)
=8/13
hence the probability that he lost 13 pounds will therefore be:
8/13
