A = event car is stolen
\n" ); document.write( "B = event car is recovered by police
\n" ); document.write( "—
\n" ); document.write( "P(A) = 0.19
\n" ); document.write( "P(A and B) = 0.05\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P(B|A) = P(A and B) / P(B) = 0.05 / 0.19 = 0.26316\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
