Algebra.Com's Answer #641466 by robertb(5830)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! We have to find P(G1|R2) = P(G1 ∩ R2)/P(R2).\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "By the law of total probability, \n" ); document.write( "P(R2) = P(G1 ∩ R2)+P(R1 ∩ R2) = P(R2|G1)P(G1) + P(R2|R1)P(R1) \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==>P(G1|R2) = P(G1 ∩ R2)/P(R2) = \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
