Certainly, let's break down the given information and calculate the probabilities.
**Given:**
* P(Requires Statistical Calculator) = 0.52
* P(Requires Statistical Software) = 0.30
* P(Requires Statistical Calculator and Statistical Software | Requires Statistical Software) = 0.16
**To find:**
* P(Requires Statistical Calculator and Statistical Software)
* P(Requires Statistical Calculator | Requires Statistical Software)
**Calculations:**
* **P(Requires Statistical Calculator and Statistical Software)**
* We know: P(A | B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)
* Where:
* A: Requires Statistical Calculator
* B: Requires Statistical Software
* Therefore:
* P(A ∩ B) = P(A | B) * P(B)
* P(Requires Statistical Calculator and Statistical Software) = 0.16 * 0.30 = **0.048**
* **P(Requires Statistical Calculator | Requires Statistical Software)**
* This is already given in the problem statement: **0.16**
**In summary:**
* P(Requires Statistical Calculator) = 0.52
* P(Requires Statistical Software) = 0.30
* P(Requires Statistical Calculator and Statistical Software) = 0.048
* P(Requires Statistical Calculator | Requires Statistical Software) = 0.16

52% of all statistics classes require a statistical calculator and
30% require the use of a computer that has statistical software.
Of the classes that require a statistical calculator, 16% also require the use of a computer.

(a) P(Requires a Statistical Calculator) =

(b) P(Requires a Statistical Software)  =
 
(c) P(Requires a Statistical Calculator and Statistical Software)  =
 
(d) P(Requires a Statistical Calculator GIVEN It Requires Statistical Software)  =
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


        In the post by  @PChill,  the solution and the answers for  (c)  and  (d)  are  INCORRECT.
        I came to bring correct solutions. 


(a)  P(Requires a Statistical Calculator) = 0.52  (given).


(b)  P(Requires a Statistical Software)   = 0.30  (given).


(c)  P(Requires a Statistical Calculator and Statistical Software)  = 0.52*0.16 = 0.0832.


(d)  P(Requires a Statistical Calculator GIVEN It Requires Statistical Software)  =  = 0.277333333.

Solved (correctly).
