Question

Jeffery estimates that's there's a 40% chance he'll eat pizza for dinner, a 60% chance he'll drink cola, and a 30% he'll eat pizza and drink cola. What's the probability of Jeffrey eating pizza, if he drinks cola?

a. 75%
b. 50%
c. 24%
d. 13.33%

Answer 1

The answer is C. 24%

Answer 2

Option C, 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that Jefferey will eat pizza is
`24`%

Probability that Jefferey will drink cold drink is
`24`%

Probability that Jefferey will eat pizza and drink cola is
`30`%

Here, the probability of jefferey eating a pizza after having cold drink will be given by

Probability of having a cold drink X probability of having pizza

Substituting the given values we get -

`(60)/(100) * (40)/(100) \\= 0.6 * 0.4\\= 0.24\\`

This is equal to
`24`%

Hence, option C is correct
