Answer:

11.55% probability that the purchase was made with a mobile device and was from Amazon.

We have these following probabilities:

21% probability that a Cyber Monday shopper used their mobile device to make a purchase.

55% probability that a purchase made with a mobile device is from Amazon.

What is the probability that the purchase was made with a mobile device and was from Amazon."

55% of 21%

11.55% probability that the purchase was made with a mobile device and was from Amazon.
