n(A) That's the number of elements in the whole red circle. There are 20 in the left part of the red circle and 50 in the right part. So that's 20+50 = 70. n(A) = 70 ----------------------------------------------------- n(B) That's the number of elements in the whole green circle. There are 50 in the left part of the green circle and 70 in the right part. So that's 50+70 = 120. n(B) = 120 ----------------------------------------------------- p(A)= n(A)/n(U) The universal set U consists of all the elements in both circles which is 20+50+70 or 140. So p(A) = n(A)/n(U) = 70/140 = 1/2 p(B) = n(B)/n(U) = 120/140 = 6/7 ----------------------------------------------------- p(A|B) = The probability of A given B. Since we are given that we are in B, we can cross out the 20 because those 20 are not in B, so we just have this:So p(A|B) = 50/(50+70) = 50/120 = 5/12 ---------------------------------------------- p(B|A) Since we are given that we are in A, we can cross out the 70 because those 70 are not in A, so we just have this: So p(B|A) = 50/(20+50) = 50/70 = 5/7 Edwin
