In an election results were as follows:
Total # voting = 300 + 450 - 25 = 725
------
300 people voted for A:: P(A) = 300/725
450 people voted for B:: P(B) = 450/725
25 people voted for A and B:: P(A and B) = 25/725
--------------------------------------
If one person is chosen at random from the 1000 eligible voters, find the following probabilities
1. The person voted for A, given that he voted for B.
P(A | B) = P(A and B)/P(B) = 25/450
----------------------------------------------
2. The person voted for B, given that he voted for A.
P(B | A) = P(B and A)/P(A) = 25/300
