Question 1152080: The probability that an employs at a company is female is.36. The probability that an employee is female and married is .19. Find the conditional probability that a randomly selected employee from this company is married given that she is female. Answer by ikleyn(52771) (Show Source):
By the definition of the conditional probability, in this case
the conditional probability that a randomly selected employee from this company is married given that she is female
is equal to the ratio of the probability that an employee is female and married (which is 0.19)
to the probability that an employee at a company is female (which is 0.36).
Therefore, the ANSWER to the problem's question is
P = = 0.527778.
