Question

What is the probability that a child eats cake, given that he/she eats cookies? (1 point)

Answer 1

The probability of event A given that event B has already happened is given by the formula

`P(A|B)=(P(A\cap B))/(P(B))`

Then,

A: child eats cake.

B: child eats cookies.

Using the formula

`\begin{gathered} P(A|B)=(0.1)/(0.5) \\ P(A|B)=0.2 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

The probability is 0.20
