6. If R is the event that a patient has high blood pressure and D is the event
that the patient has diabetes, state in words what probabilities are expressed by:
a. P(R|𝐷) b. P(D’|𝑅) c. P(R′|𝐷′)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(a)  P(R|D)   is the probability that a randomly selected patient from the set 
              has high blood pressure given that the patient has diabetes.



(b)  P(D'/R)  is the probability that a randomly selected patient from the set 
              does not have diabetes given that the patient has high blood pressure.



(c)  P(R'/D') is the probability that a randomly selected patient from the set 
              does not have high blood pressure given that the patient does not have diabetes.
