Hello,

in your post,  wording part of the question
    If a randomly selected vehicle is red,  what is the probability it is a truck?

does not correspond to the symbolic part of the question
    P(Red/Truck),

because the symbolic part  " P(Red/Truck) "  literally means
    If a randomly selected vehicle is a truck,  what is the probability it is red ?
