The probability of a student passing science is 80% and the probability of the student passing both science and math is 50%. What is the probability of that student passing math knowing given he passed science?
Let A ≡ Passing science event
B ≡ Passing math event
Given, P(B) = 80% and P(A ∩ B) = 50%
Then, probability of passing math after passing science = P(B|A) = P(A ∩ B)/P(A)
= (1/2) / (4 /5) = (1/2)* (5/4) = 5 / 8 = 62.5%
A farmer needs to take a fox, a chicken, and a sack of grain across a river. The only way across the river is by a small boat, which can only hold the farmer and one of the three items.
