Question

Let W be the event that a randomly chosen person works for the city government. Let V be the event that a randomly chosen person will vote in the election.

Given that the person works for the city government, the probability that a randomly chosen person has will vote in the election.

P(_____ | _____)

Answer 1

P(V | W)

Explanation:

The following terms have been defined.

W: this has it that the Person works for the city government

V: this has it that the Person will vote in the election

Given: now if this person works for the city government, we are to find the probability that a randomly chosen person is going to vote in the election.

This Statement above gives a description of conditional probability.

What we want is the probability of V given W.

We have:

P( V | W ) where

P( V | W ) = P( V ∩ W ) / P(W)
