Hi 
P(due to bad weather) = .02
P(Late IS actually due to bad weather) =.82
P(wrongly diagnosed) = .03  0r 1- .03 = .97 = P(rightly diagnosed)
P(that a late arrival is attributed to bad weather was actually due to bad weather)
P( due to bad weather | rightly diagnosed)
P(A|B) = P(A and B)/P(B) = (.02)(.82)/.97
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
