In a group of 100 computer buyers, 40 bought CPU, 30 purchased monitor, and 20 purchased CPU and monitors. If a computer buyer chose at random and bought a CPU, what is the probability they also bought a Monitor?
The probability that a buyer bought a monitor, given that they purchased a CPU, is 50%.
If you take out a single card from a regular pack of cards, what is probability that the card is either an ace or spade?

In a group of 10 people, 4 people bought apples, 3 bought oranges, and 2 bought apples and oranges. If a buyer chose randomly bought apples, using the conditional probability formula find out what is the probability they also bought oranges?
P(O|A) = P(A∩O) / P(A) = 0.2 / 0.4 = 0.5 = 50%

A bag contains 7 red marbles, 3 blue marbles and 2 green marbles. If two marbles are drawn out of the bag, what is the probability, to the nearest 10th of a percent, that both marbles drawn will be green?
0.01515=1.515%≈1.5%
Suppose there are 200 men, of which 100 are smokers, and 100 women, of which 20 are smokers. What is the probability that a person chosen at random will be a smoker? The answer is 120/300. Now, let us ask, what is the probability that a person chosen at random is a smoker given that the person is a women?
20/100 = 1/5
