Hello,

in your post, wording part of the question

    If a randomly selected vehicle is red,  what is the probability it is a truck?

does not correspond to the symbolic part of the question

    P(Red/Truck),

because the symbolic part " P(Red/Truck) " literally means

    If a randomly selected vehicle is a truck,  what is the probability it is red ?
