I'm not sure how to solve this question:
The probability that a battery will last 10 hr or more is 0.8, and the probability that it will last 15 hr or more is 0.16. Given that a battery has lasted 10 hr, find the probability that it will last 15 hr or more.
-----
P(last 15|last 10) = P(last 15 AND last 10)/P(last 10)
= 0.16/0.8
= 1/5
= 0.2
