Algebra.Com's Answer #99690 by vleith(2983) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the probability of A occurring is x%, then the probability of \"not A\" is 100-x%. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the probability of A is 'x out of y', the probability of 'not A', is '(y-x) out of y. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The net result is the sum of the two probabilities must be one (or 100%)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Bayes Theorem states: \n" ); document.write( "P(A and B) = P(B)* P(A|B) = P(A)*P(B|A)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You are given P(A) and P(B|A) - you can do the math :-D \n" ); document.write( " |
