Survey 240people consisting of 159boys and remaining girls rated a tv programme as Excellent Good Average.
Boys 42Excellent 70Good 47Average
Girls 38Excellent 30Good 13Average.
Quest: If a person is selected at random, what is the probability that he/she
1. P(rated average given that she is a girl) = P(ave and girl)/P(girl)
= (13/240)/(81/240) = 13/81
----------------------------------------
2. P(is a boy given that the rating is Excellent) = P(boy and elcell)/P(boy)
= (42/240)/(159/240) = 42/159
