Suppose that 15% of users own at least one computer AND log onto the internet for more that 30 hrs per wk. Given that an internet user owns at least one computer, what is the probability that he\she logs onto the internet for more than 30hrs per week?\r

Algebra.Com's Answer #373001 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! P(I|C) = P(I and C)/P(C)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P(I|C) = 0.15/0.8\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P(I|C) = 0.1875\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the probability that the user logs on for more than 30 hrs a week, given that the internet user owns at least one computer, is 0.1875 (which is an 18.75% chance) \n" ); document.write( " |
