400 families were surveyed. It was found that 90% had a TV set and 60% had a computer. Every family had at least one of these items. One of the families is randomly selected, and it id found that they have a computer. Find the probability that it also has a TV set.
\n" ); document.write( "union = # with computer + # with TV - # with both
\n" ); document.write( "400 = 0.9*400 + 0.6*400 - # with both
\n" ); document.write( "400 = 360 + 240 - # with both
\n" ); document.write( "# with both = 200
\n" ); document.write( "P(computer AND TV) = 200/400 = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "P(TV | computer) + P(TV and computer)/P(computer) = 0.5/0.6 = 5/6
\n" ); document.write( "========
